The National Hajj Commission of Nigeria (NAHCON) has announced final fare for the 2027 Hajj exercise, a slight reduction from the 2026 fare.

In the reviewed fare announced on Friday, the Commission disclosed that intending pilgrims from Maiduguri/Yola Zone will pay N7,560,822.00; their counterparts from Northern Zone (other Northern states) pays N7,672,822.00 while those embarking from Southern Zone pays N7,882,822.00.

According to the Commission, the new fare was considered with the principle of transparency, cost-efficiency and the Federal Government’s commitment to the welfare of Nigerian pilgrims.

On the template used to arrive at the final fare, the Commission revealed the approval came after wide consultations with the leadership of the Forum of State Muslim Pilgrims’ Welfare Boards, key service providers in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and careful consideration of prevailing exchange rates and service costs.

The Commission urged intending pilgrims who have deposited N5,000,000.00 with the state and private tours to pay the outstanding balance to complete their registration.

Besides, NAHCON also advised the new registrants who are yet to make deposits to proceed with payment through their respective State Muslim Pilgrims’ Welfare Boards, Agencies, Commissions or through any approved Hajj Savings Scheme (HSS) participating bank.

The Commission added: ” In strict compliance with the Saudi Ministry of Hajj and Umrah’s policy, NAHCON has fixed September 26, 2026, as the final and absolute deadline for the complete upload of intending pilgrims’ biometric data on the designated Nusuk-Masar digital platform, while remittance of all 2027 Hajj fares by states must be completed by 2nd December 2026.

“No extension will be granted beyond this deadline, as data synchronisation and seat allocations depend entirely on timely remittances. The Commission wishes to emphasise that failure to meet the set deadlines will result in forfeiture of the allocated Hajj slots.”
