The expiration of the new deadline, with the support of its sister agencies, NAHCON would have determined the total cost of the 2024 Hajj. However, the new date is now set for January 31, 2024.
Responding to the sincere concerns raised by stakeholders regarding the closure of the 2024 Hajj registration, the National Hajj Commission of Nigeria (NAHCON) is pleased to announce that the Federal Government has approved an extension of the deadline.
The new date is now set for January 31, 2024, providing an additional opportunity for individuals to participate in this sacred pilgrimage.
The overwhelming request for an extension from various religious communities underscores the importance of ensuring access for a broader spectrum of the faithful eager to embark on the spiritual journey of Hajj.
Consequently, NAHCON is confident that before the expiration of the new deadline, with the support of its sister agencies, the Commission would have determined the total cost of the 2024 Hajj. The extension, therefore, offers a window for new registrants to do so, and by the end of January, those who need to balance up payments would be able to do so as well.
NAHCON takes this opportunity to remind intending pilgrims and other stakeholders that the Saudi Arabian Ministry of Hajj and Umrah has set February 25 as the end date for signing all contracts, signaling the conclusion of payments into IBAN accounts. With this extension, NAHCON has barely a month to finalize the payment of all Hajj deposits into its IBAN account for the 2024 Hajj.
This extension, although it stretches NAHCON’s preparatory timeline, reflects the commitment of the Commission’s Chairman, Malam Jalal Ahmad Arabi, to accommodating the concerns of stakeholders. He expresses gratitude to religious leaders, state boards, and governors for their advocacy on behalf of the pilgrims.
Malam Arabi describes this collaborative effort as a testament to the shared commitment to facilitating a meaningful and inclusive Hajj experience for all. He prays that all Hajj handlers would utilize this opportunity well for the success of the 2024 Hajj operations.
