The Niger State Pilgrims Welfare Board has announced September 20 as the deadline for potential 2027 Hajj pilgrims to submit their deposit payments. According to a statement by the Public Relations Officer Hajia Lubabatu Mohammed Kusherki, this deadline follows a similar decision made by the National Hajj Commission of Nigeria (NAHCON).
This action aligns with a mandate from the Saudi Arabia Ministry of Hajj and Umrah. Hajia Kusherki explained that the Saudi authority has required all participating countries to upload the biographical information of their intending pilgrims to the NUSUK MASAR platform by September 20, 2026, considering the allocated slots for each country.
The National Hajj Commission informed Nigeria that it needs to register around 50,000 intending pilgrims within the given timeframe. Kusherki warned that not registering and paying the required amount before the deadline could lead to the loss of their allocated slots for the 2027 pilgrimage. She emphasized that the board is dedicated to assisting pilgrims throughout the registration process.
Kusherki encouraged intending pilgrims to register at the Niger State Pilgrims’ Welfare Board in Minna or through local government centres for additional support.
