The National Hajj Commission of Nigeria (NAHCON) has disclosed the approved fares for the 2027 Hajj, ranging from ₦7,560,822 to ₦7,882,822, depending on pilgrims' departure zones. The commission announced these fares after consultations with relevant stakeholders in Saudi Arabia. Departing from the Maiduguri/Yola zone will cost the least at ₦7,560,822, while those from the Southern Zone will pay the highest fare of ₦7,882,822.
The commission emphasized that the approved fares were determined considering exchange rates and service costs, emphasizing transparency and cost-efficiency. Pilgrims who have already deposited ₦5m will need to pay the remaining balance to complete their registration. The final deadline for uploading intending pilgrims' biometric data on the Nusuk-Masar digital platform is September 26, 2026, with the last day for states to remit all 2027 Hajj fares being December 2, 2026. Failure to meet these deadlines could result in the loss of allocated Hajj slots.
