Pilgrims from the Southern Zone will enjoy the biggest cut, as the fare has dropped from ₦8,784,085.59 to ₦7,991,141.76 — a decrease of ₦792,943.83.
Those departing from the Northern Zone will now pay ₦7,696,769.76 instead of ₦8,457,685.59, saving ₦760,915.83.
Meanwhile, the Borno and Adamawa Zone — which has the lowest rate nationwide — will now pay ₦7,579,020.96, marking a reduction of ₦748,104.63.
