The National Hajj Commission of Nigeria (NAHCON) has announced a tentative fare of ₦8.5 million for the 2026 Hajj pilgrimage.
This update was revealed following a post-Hajj meeting involving Chairmen and Secretaries of State Pilgrims Welfare Boards across the country.
The fare sets the financial framework for aspiring pilgrims preparing for next year’s sacred journey.
NAHCON emphasized the importance of early registration and timely payments to ensure smooth processing and avoid last-minute difficulties.
The commission is working toward finalizing the fare details and securing the necessary approvals before making an official public announcement.
Preparations are ongoing in alignment with the Saudi Ministry of Hajj and Umrah schedule, including contracts for essential services and the commencement of pilgrim registrations.
The airlift for Nigerian pilgrims is slated to begin on April 16, 2026, with the commission closely collaborating with state Muslim Pilgrims Welfare Boards to coordinate logistics and compliance with international protocols.
This fare announcement aims to provide prospective pilgrims with clarity while facilitating effective planning for the 2026 Hajj exercise.
