The National Hajj Commission of Nigeria (NAHCON) has approved 2027 Hajj fares based on the respective departure zones.
NAHCON, in a circular issued on Friday, August 14, 2026, listed the departure zones to include Maiduguri/Yola zone – N7.57million, Northern zone – N7.68million and Southern zone – N7.89million.
The commission also noted that remittance of all 2027 Hajj fares by states must be completed by December 2, 2026.
It added that no extension would be granted beyond the deadline, as data synchronisation and seat allocations depended entirely on timely remittances.
NAHCON stated: “In line with the principle of transparency, cost-efficiency, and the Federal Government’s commitment to the welfare of Nigerian pilgrims, the National Hajj Commission of Nigeria (NAHCON) announces the 2027 Hajj fares approved by the Federal Government.
“The approved fares were determined following 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 approved 2027 Hajj fares, based on the respective departure zones, are as follows: Maiduguri/Yola zone – N7.57 million, Northern zone – N7.68 million and Southern zone – N7.89 million.”
According to the commission, intending pilgrims who hitherto deposited N5 million are required to pay the outstanding balance to complete their registration.

It urged the new registrants to proceed with payment through their respective State Muslim Pilgrims’ Welfare Boards, Agencies, or Commissions or through any approved Hajj Savings Scheme (HSS) participating bank.
NAHCON added: “In strict compliance with the Saudi Ministry of Hajj and Umrah’s policy, NAHCON has fixed Sept. 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 Dec. 2, 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.”
