NAHCON Introduces Stricter Rules for 2026 Hajj, Pilgrims Face Penalties for Missed Flights

The National Hajj Commission of Nigeria (NAHCON) has unveiled 15 new rules for the 2026 Hajj pilgrimage, imposing penalties for missed flights. Pilgrims must follow stricter travel protocols, with flight tickets digitally linked to their Nusuk card.

Failure to board flights will result in penalties, and pilgrims with disqualifying medical conditions will bear deportation costs. NAHCON aims to enhance travel arrangements and group coordination for a smoother pilgrimage experience.
