NATIONAL HAJJ COMMISSION OF NIGERIA (NAHCON)
COMMENCEMENT OF DEPOSITS FOR THE 2027 HAJJ OPERATIONS AND ADVANCE DEPOSITS FOR THE 2028-2030 HAJJ SEASONS
In line with the resolutions of the National Hajj Commission of Nigeria (NAHCON) and the State Muslim Pilgrims’ Welfare Boards, Agencies and Commissions, intending pilgrims for the 2027 Hajj are hereby invited to make an initial minimum deposit of N5,000,000 (Five Million Naira), or such amount as may be determined and communicated by their respective States.
2. Early deposits offer intending pilgrims the opportunity to:
Secure their place for the 2027 Hajj exercise;
Ease the financial burden through advance and phased payments; and
Enable NAHCON and the State Pilgrims’ Welfare Boards, Agencies and Commissions to make timely and efficient arrangements for accommodation, catering, transportation, Masha’ir services and other logistics in Makkah, Madinah and the Holy Sites.
3. The Commission is also pleased to announce the commencement of advance deposits for the 2028, 2029 and 2030 Hajj seasons. Interested persons are therefore encouraged to begin saving towards their pilgrimage through their respective State Muslim Pilgrims’ Welfare Boards, Agencies or Commissions, or any approved Hajj Savings Scheme (HSS) participating banks. The advance deposit initiative is designed to enable prospective pilgrims to spread the financial cost of Hajj over time, while also enhancing the Commission’s and the State Boards’ ability to undertake early planning, secure quality services, and ensure efficient Hajj operations.
4. For further enquiries and information on payment procedures, intending pilgrims should contact their respective State Muslim Pilgrims’ Welfare Boards, Agencies or Commissions, or any HSS participating bank.
