Intending pilgrims for the 2027 hajj exercise are likely to pay between N7,560,822 to N7,882,822 fares depending on their departure zones, the National Hajj Commission of Nigeria has announced.

[b]NAHCON, in a public notice issued on Friday, stated that the fares were approved by the Federal Government after consultations with the Forum of State Muslim Pilgrims’ Welfare Boards and key service providers in Saudi Arabia.[/b]

According to the commission, pilgrims departing from the Maiduguri/Yola zone will pay N7,560,822, while those from the Northern Zone will pay N7,672,822.

Pilgrims from the Southern Zone will pay the highest fare of N7,882,822.

The Commission said the approved fares were determined after considering prevailing exchange rates and service costs.

NAHCON said intending pilgrims who had already deposited N5m would be required to pay the outstanding balance to complete their registration.

This means pilgrims who paid the initial N5m will have outstanding balances of N2,560,822 for the Maiduguri/Yola Zone, N2,672,822 for the Northern Zone and N2,882,822 for the Southern Zone.

The commission also directed new registrants to make payments through their respective State Muslim Pilgrims’ Welfare Boards, Agencies or Commissions, or through approved Hajj Savings Scheme participating banks.

Meanwhile, NAHCON fixed September 26, 2026, as the final deadline for the complete upload of intending pilgrims’ biometric data on the designated Nusuk-Masar digital platform.

It also directed states to complete the remittance of all 2027 Hajj fares by December 2, 2026.

“In strict compliance with the Saudi Ministry of Hajj and Umrah’s policy, NAHCON has fixed September 26, 2026, as the final and absolute deadline for the complete upload of intending pilgrims’ biometric data on the designated Nusuk-Masar digital platform, while remittance of all 2027 Hajj fares by states must be completed by 2nd December 2026,” the commission stated.

It stressed that there would be no extension beyond the deadlines, explaining that data synchronisation and seat allocations depended entirely on timely remittances.

The commission further warned that failure to meet the deadlines would lead to the forfeiture of allocated Hajj slots.

“The Commission wishes to emphasize that failure to meet the set deadlines will result in forfeiture of the allocated Hajj slots,” NAHCON stated.

Hmm. 90% of that to be subsidized by state governors hoping for peaceful rigging and 4 years of extra looting.

This amount all because of stone

Steady waste of tax payers money

Fair enough

It should be raised to even 25m

These sort of endeavours, regardless of religion involved, should be heavily taxed and made prohibitively expensive

Just to kiss stone that predated Islam

Over 7 million to go and throw stone at a stone 😂😂🤣

Not giving birth to people like you is the major prayer point of many people doing this Hajj

You missed the part of the article where it was clearly stated that intending pilgrims who had already deposited 5m were instructed to pay up the balance?

Go ask the Hajj Commission yes?

SAUDI is undoubtedly the smartest country in the whole wide world 🌎, I swear. They've been maintaining the consistency of making fortunes from this pilgrimage of a thing. They've been cashing out since time immemorial.

If some of them no go there means they never achieved anything all their living on earth. But who are we to judge... Even Christian spend alot to go see Adeboye RCCG and donate money

People should privately pay for their pilgrimages.

If I pay that amount, Satan must kpai .

Iranians won't go on pilgrimage because of gbese. They attacked Saudi Arabia .

Money to take relocate n better ur life… people Dey us go throw stone for wall(Satan}….
Wetin religion don do us

7.8m excluding
BTA or money to spend in the holy land.
My only request is that our country must be well compensated financially to rebuild all that the TERRORISTS have destroyed.

Amen ooo!
They called our gods powerless and dash us their own; and made it mandatory to pay to visit them in their Holy land.
No contented, they still stole our powerless gods and rebrand them as artifact which we use big money to see in Museum!
These guys really do us strong thing o!
