Meanwhile, President John Dramani Mahama has announced plans to airlift 5,000 Ghanaian pilgrims to Mecca for Hajj this year.

Speaking at the sod-cutting ceremony for the Hajj village on Friday, February 28, President Mahama underscored the need for timely payments and thorough preparation to ensure a smooth process.

“This year, we intend to airlift exactly 5,000 pilgrims to the holy land, and the task force has announced March 13 as the deadline for payment,” Mahama stated.

To facilitate the pilgrimage, the government has secured a pre-finance arrangement with a local bank, ensuring that all deposits for accommodation, transport, and other logistics have been paid in advance.
