PUBLIC NOTICE
APPROVED FARES AND PAYMENT DEADLINE FOR 2027 HAJJ
In line with the principle of transparency, cost-efficiency, and the Federal Government’s commitment to the welfare of Nigerian pilgrims, the National Hajj Commission of Nigeria (NAHCON) announces the 2027 Hajj fares approved by the Federal Government. The approved fares were determined following consultations with the leadership of the Forum of State Muslim Pilgrims’ Welfare Boards, key service providers in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and careful consideration of prevailing exchange rates and service costs.
2. The approved 2027 Hajj fares, based on the respective departure zones, are as follows:
S/no Zone Approved Hajj Fare
1. Maiduguri / Yola Zone ₦7,560,822.00
2. Northern Zone ₦7,672,822.00
3. Southern Zone ₦7,882,822.00
3. Intending pilgrims who hitherto deposited ₦5,000,000.00 are required to pay the outstanding balance to complete their registration while new registrants are advised to proceed with payment through their respective State Muslim Pilgrims’ Welfare Boards, Agencies, or Commissions or through any approved Hajj Savings Scheme (HSS) participating bank.
4. 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. No extension will be granted beyond this deadline, as data synchronization and seat allocations depend entirely on timely remittances.
5. The Commission wishes to emphasize that failure to meet the set deadlines will result in forfeiture of the allocated Hajj slots.
