Seven days left to register, upload data for 2027 Hajj — NAHCON

The National Hajj Commission of Nigeria (NAHCON) has warned that there are just seven days remaining to register and upload pilgrim data for the 2027 Hajj, which must be completed by September 26. The commission issued the reminder on Saturday through its official X account, urging intending pilgrims and relevant stakeholders to finalize their registration and data upload before the deadline to avoid the last-minute rush.

The countdown to the September 26 deadline has begun, according to NAHCON, which emphasized the importance of early registration and data upload. The commission previously warned that failure to meet the deadline could result in the loss of allocated pilgrimage slots. Pilgrims must also remit full payments for their allocated slots by December 2, 2026, through approved channels such as state pilgrims' welfare agencies, designated Hajj savings banks, and licensed tour operators.

Saudi Arabia recently rejected Nigeria's request for an increase in its 2027 Hajj allocation, leaving Nigeria with an approved quota of 50,000 pilgrims for the upcoming pilgrimage.
