2025 Hajj Update from NAHCON

By Fatima Sanda Usara

As a reminder, NAHCON had secured 52,544 spaces for State Pilgrims Camps. Under the new contract, the projected number of pilgrims is split between two service providers as follows: Mashariq Dhahabiah will cater to 26,287 pilgrims, while Ekram Deif will accommodate 26,257 Nigerian pilgrims expected to complete their registration by a soon-to-be-confirmed date.

Professor Saleh Usman leveraged this lifeline to accommodate more Nigerian pilgrims that habitually make late remittances yet put the pressure on NAHCON for Hajj slots when securing same is nearly impossible. Meanwhile, Rawaf Mina is expected to confirm the availability of 100 VIP tents.

For Tour Operators, NAHCON reserved 16,263 spaces for them to process after remittances. The breakdown is as follows:
1,447 VIP slots will be processed through Ithraa Al Joud, while Rawaf Mina will supply 35 VIP camps for processing, bringing the total expected VIP spaces for the private sector to 1,482, pending pilgrim payments.
For Tour Operator’s s Tent, Rawaf Mina has reserved 14,413 spaces, which will be allocated after remittances. Ithraa Al Joud will provide an additional 1,850 accordingly.

NAHCON urges journalists to uphold the principles of fairness and balance in their reporting, especially on matters that involve multiple stakeholders.
