The National Hajj Commission of Nigeria (NAHCON) has announced a downward review of the 2026 Hajj fares for intending pilgrims across the country, reflecting substantial reductions from the 2025 rates.
According to details released by the Commission, pilgrims from the Borno and Adamawa zones will now pay N7,579,020.96, down from N8,327,125.59 in 2025, a reduction of N748,104.63.
In the Northern Zone, intending pilgrims will pay N7,696,769.76, representing a decrease of N760,915.83 from the previous year’s N8,457,685.59. For the Southern Zone, the revised fare for 2026 is N7,991,141.76, down by N792,943.83 from the 2025 rate of N8,784,085.59.
In a statement posted on X on Monday, NAHCON said the adjustments were made to make the pilgrimage more affordable for Nigerian Muslims ahead of the 2026 Hajj exercise.
The Commission also announced December 5, 2025, as the new payment deadline for all intending pilgrims.
“Intending pilgrims are advised to complete their payments on or before the stated deadline to ensure smooth processing and participation in the 2026 Hajj,” the statement read.
