The National Hajj Commission of Nigeria (NAHCON) has revoked additional 2026 Hajj slots previously granted to selected tour operators, following operational constraints on the Saudi Hajj portal that disrupted required data integration.
The Commission has confirmed that the refund process for payments on the cancelled slots has commenced, assuring affected operators that reimbursements will follow established financial procedures.
NAHCON emphasized that the decision was beyond its administrative control and reaffirmed its commitment to transparency, accountability, and seamless coordination with international pilgrimage authorities.
