The National Hajj Commission of Nigeria (NAHCON) and the Saudi Arabian Ministry of Hajj and Umrah have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to improve pilgrimage operations for the 2027 Hajj. The agreement was signed on Tuesday in Jeddah between NAHCON Chairman Ismail Yusuf and Saudi Vice Minister of Hajj and Umrah Abdulfattah Mashat.
The MoU outlines a framework to enhance logistics, ensure pilgrim welfare, and allocate Nigeria's Hajj quota. It also stresses cooperation in accommodation, transportation, and healthcare, as well as monitoring service delivery and addressing logistical challenges. Saudi Arabia recently approved an additional 10,000 Hajj slots for Nigeria, increasing the quota from 50,000 to 60,000 pilgrims.
