The National Hajj Commission of Nigeria (NAHCON) has announced that intending pilgrims for the 2027 hajj exercise will be required to pay between N7,560,822 to N7,882,822 in fares, depending on their departure zones. The fares were approved by the Federal Government after consultations with relevant stakeholders in Saudi Arabia.
Pilgrims departing from the Maiduguri/Yola zone will pay the lowest fare of N7,560,822, while those from the Southern Zone will pay the highest fare of N7,882,822. NAHCON stated that the approved fares were determined considering prevailing exchange rates and service costs. Pilgrims who had already deposited N5m are required to pay the outstanding balance to complete their registration.
Failure to meet the final deadline of September 26, 2026, for uploading biometric data and remitting fares by December 2, 2026, would result in the forfeiture of allocated Hajj slots.
