This is contained in a Press statement issued by the Information and Public Relations Officer of the Board, Lubabatu Mohammed Kusheriki and made available to Journalists on Wednesday in Minna
The statement added that the deadline was issued by the National Hajj Commission of Nigeria, NAHCON, in line with a directive from the Saudi Ministry of Hajj and Umrah.
It stated that in a statement released recently, the Executive Secretary of the Board, Muhammad Awwal Aliyu, said Saudi authorities have mandated all participating countries to upload the biodata of their intending pilgrims’ onto the *NUSUK MASAR* platform on or before September 20, 2026, based on slots allocated to each country.
According to NAHCON, Nigeria is expected to upload details of approximately *50,000 intending pilgrims* within the stipulated period.
The Board cautioned that failure to register and make payment before the deadline could result in the forfeiture of allocated slots for the 2027 pilgrimage.
“The Board remains committed to providing all necessary guidance and support to intending pilgrims throughout the registration process,” Aliyu stated.
Meanwhile, intending pilgrims’ are advised to visit the Niger State Pilgrims’ Welfare Board Office in Minna or designated local government centers for registration and further inquiries.
