By Sadiq Abdulfatah

The National Hajj Commission of Nigeria (NAHCON) in preparation for the 2026 Hajj has alerted a serious warning to State Muslim Pilgrims Welfare Boards, Agencies, and Commissions to strictly adhere with the 2026 Hajj calendar released by the Saudi Ministry of Hajj and Umrah.

In regards to an Official statement signed by Prince Anofi Elegushi, Commissioner for Operations, Inspectorate and License, the Commission has lay emphasis on the urgent need for prompt remittance of all Hajj payments to its designated accounts.

NAHCON warns that failure to meet the deadline for financial remittances and logistics by any state could lead to disruption of Hajj processing and reduction of pilgrims allowed to perform the pilgrimage.

According to a Statement “ In order to avoid such interruptions and ensure a smooth coordination of the 2026 Hajj operation, all states are hereby expected to act fast on the payment process and aswell ensure that all important funds are fully remitted before the announced deadline.

The Commission urged full cooperation from state boards, describing it as critical to the success of the 2026 Hajj exercise.
