The truth is, this isnโt just about Hajj anymore. Air travel in Nigeria has become something only a few people can afford. With the cost of aviation fuel going up, the naira losing value, and multiple taxes weighing airlines down, flying has turned into a luxury instead of a convenience.
A trip that used to be routine now feels like an achievement. Even local flights that once cost โฆ40,000 to โฆ50,000 have doubled, while international fares are almost out of reach. So yes, itโs good that the government wants to review Hajj fares, but the real conversation should be about why everything tied to air travel is this expensive in the first place.
Until we fix that, weโll keep treating the symptoms instead of the sickness.
