NAHCON fixes 2027 Hajj payment deadline, urges ₦5M depositors to pay balance
NAHCON announced today that intending pilgrims for the 2027 Hajj who have already deposited ₦5 million must pay the outstanding balance to complete their registration. The commission fixed a payment deadline but did not disclose the total fare amount, the exact deadline date, or the outstanding balance figure in its announcement.
This update affects Nigerian Muslims who made the initial ₦5 million deposit toward their Hajj pilgrimage, a significant financial commitment for many. NAHCON, as the federal agency responsible for organizing Nigeria's Hajj operations, typically releases payment details in phases, with deposits securing preliminary registration.
The announcement lacks critical specifics: pilgrims do not yet know how much more they need to pay beyond the ₦5 million or by when they must make this payment to avoid losing their registration slot. Hajj expenses represent a major household expenditure for intending pilgrims, often requiring months of savings.
Intending pilgrims are urged to check NAHCON's official website, visit state pilgrim boards, or contact authorized agents immediately for the precise payment details and deadline. Failure to pay the balance by the set date could result in forfeiture of the deposit and loss of the 2027 Hajj opportunity.
