JUST-IN: NAHCON slashes 2026 Hajj fare for pilgrims
In compliance with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s directive on Hajj fare adjustments, the National Hajj Commission of Nigeria (NAHCON) has announced a significant reduction in the cost of the 2026 pilgrimage, providing major financial relief for intending Nigerian pilgrims across all operational zones.
According to figures released by the commission, which operates under the Presidency, the new fares reflect a reduction of up to ₦792,943.83 from the 2025 Hajj rates, depending on each pilgrim’s departure zone.
The adjustment is part of the federal government’s efforts to make the annual pilgrimage to Saudi Arabia more affordable and accessible to Muslims across the country.
The largest reduction was recorded for pilgrims in the Southern Zone, where the fare has been reduced by N792,943.83. The revised cost for the Southern Zone now stands at N7,991,141.76, down from the previous N8,784,085.59.
Pilgrims departing from the Northern Zone will see a reduction of N760,915.83, bringing the revised fare to N7,696,769.76.
Meanwhile, the Borno and Adamawa Zone—which has the lowest fare nationally—has a new rate of N7,579,020.96, reflecting a saving of N748,104.63.
The commission also announced December 5 as the payment deadline.
