Na wah, my people! E don happen, as Saudi Arabia don close the data-capture window for the 2026 Hajj season. Na wetin dem call the Nusuk Masar platform, and if you no sabi, na wetin dem dey use register and process pilgrims.
This matter dey come from National Hajj Commission of Nigeria (NAHCON) wey don talk say dem dey beg for extension from Saudi authorities, make dem allow Naija finish uploading di remaining pilgrims wey never register. Fatima Usara, di Deputy Director of Information and Public Relations for NAHCON, don make am clear say dem don already write letter to Saudi dem.
According to am, “Na so we appeal to di Saudi authorities, make dem give us small time, make we fit capture di rest of di pilgrims wey still dey waka upandan.” Na so dem dey hopeful say dem go get good reply from Saudi side.
But make I yarn something wey matter pass! NAHCON don give warning say no pilgrim go fit make any payment again. Dem don comot di payment process for di 2026 Hajj. So no let anybody chop your money! “All intending pilgrims make una no pay any fare to anybody or group, because di payment for 2026 Hajj don close officially,” Fatima add.
Na so she urge everybody make dem follow NAHCON for their verified channels. E go help you no fall victim to scammers wey dey everywhere. “We dey encourage all stakeholders and intending pilgrims to dey follow our official platforms for accurate updates.”
As e be, NAHCON dey work hand in hand with Saudi authorities to make sure say dis Hajj go smooth. “We dey appreciate di understanding and cooperation of all stakeholders as we dey engage di Saudi people to ensure say our pilgrims go enjoy di experience,” Fatima conclude.
So, my people, make we dey follow di gist well well as dem dey drop updates. If you wan be part of di wahala, just make sure say your eyes dey for NAHCON’s official communications.
