Saturday, August 30, 2025 - The National Hajj Commission of Nigeria has announced a series of deadlines for the successful coordination of the 2026 Hajj exercise.
This is as the agency urged intending pilgrims, state
boards, and private tour operators to strictly adhere to the schedule.
All these were detailed in a statement showing the critical
timelines on its X account on Friday.
According to the timetable, the signing of the Memorandum of
Understanding (MoU) with Saudi authorities will take place in November 2025,
marking the official commencement of Hajj preparations.
By January 4, 2026, all camp booking payments must be
completed, and service contract packages confirmed.
This will be followed by the February 1, 2026 deadline for
uploading transport and accommodation contracts on the Nusuk Masar portal
The commission emphasized that March 20, 2026 is the final
deadline for visa issuance, stressing that there will be no extensions under
any circumstances.
In addition, NAHCON has fixed October 8, 2025 as the
remittance deadline, a critical requirement for states and licensed operators
to secure their slots in the pilgrimage.
A statement from the commission highlighted the importance
of strict compliance with the schedule to avoid disruptions in the Hajj
operations.
“These timelines are non-negotiable. All stakeholders must
ensure early compliance to guarantee a smooth and hitch-free Hajj for Nigerian
pilgrims,” the commission said.
