President Mahama reduces 2025 Hajj fees from GHC 75,000 to GHC 62,000.
In a significant move to ease the financial burden on Ghanaian Muslims, President John Dramani Mahama has announced a reduction in Hajj pilgrimage fees for 2025.
The cost has been slashed from GHC 75,000 to GHC 62,000, a decision aimed at making the sacred journey to Mecca more affordable for prospective pilgrims.
The announcement was made by the Chairman of the Hajj Task Force, who emphasized Mahama’s commitment to ensuring that more Ghanaian Muslims can fulfill their religious obligation without excessive financial strain.
The cost of Hajj has been a growing concern for many Ghanaian Muslims, with rising travel expenses and accommodation costs making the pilgrimage increasingly difficult. Mahama’s intervention is expected to boost participation in the 2025 Hajj, offering thousands of Ghanaian Muslims the opportunity to fulfill one of Islam’s five pillars at a more affordable rate.
The reduction has been widely welcomed by members of the Muslim community, with many expressing gratitude for the effort to ease the financial strain associated with the pilgrimage.
Further details on the payment process and registration for the 2025 Hajj pilgrimage are expected to be announced by the Hajj Task Force in the coming weeks.
