The National Hajj Commission of Nigeria (NAHCON) has announced approved fares for the 2027 Hajj.
In a public notice on Friday, the commission said the federal government approved the fares after consultations with the Forum of State Muslim Pilgrims’ Welfare Boards and service providers in Saudi Arabia, as well as consideration of prevailing exchange rates and service costs.
Under the approved fares, pilgrims departing from the Maiduguri/Yola zone will pay N7,560,822; those from the Northern zone will pay N7,672,822; and pilgrims from the Southern zone will pay N7,882,822.
NAHCON said intending pilgrims who had earlier deposited N5 million are required to pay the outstanding balance to complete their registration, while new registrants should make payments through their respective state pilgrims’ welfare boards, agencies or commissions, or approved Hajj Savings Scheme participating banks.
The commission also fixed September 26, 2026, as the final deadline for the complete upload of intending pilgrims’ biometric data on the Nusuk-Masar platform.
It further directed states to complete remittance of all 2027 Hajj fares by December 2, 2026, warning that no extension would be granted. It said failure to meet the deadlines would result in the forfeiture of allocated Hajj slots.
