Gombe Begins Printing 2026 Hajj Visas for 960 Pilgrims
From Abdulrazaq Auwal
The Gombe State Muslim Pilgrims Welfare Board has commenced the printing of visas for intending pilgrims from the state ahead of the 2026 Hajj exercise.
Officials of the board confirmed that the process is part of the final administrative preparations to ensure that all registered pilgrims complete the necessary travel documentation before the commencement of airlift operations.
Earlier, Hajj Gazette reported that the state has a total of 960 registered intending pilgrims scheduled to perform the 2026 Hajj in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
The development signals steady progress in the state’s Hajj preparations, as authorities work to meet all documentation and logistical requirements set by the National Hajj Commission of Nigeria and relevant Saudi authorities.
The board reassured intending pilgrims that the visa printing process will continue in phases until all registered pilgrims from the state have their travel documents ready ahead of departure for the annual pilgrimage.
