Nigerian Tour Operators Meet Service Providers in Makkah
The leadership of Nigerian tour operators was tasked by the National Executive Council to select Saudi service providers for Hajj 2027. A delegation traveled to Makkah, where they met with four companies.
After most members returned home, on 5 October 2026, one member remained in Makkah and arranged meetings with Ithraa Al-Jood and Manasek Al Mashaer at the Address Hotel. The meetings aimed to clarify the services to be provided in Tent A, Zone 5, which was deemed unfit for Nigerian pilgrims.
The engagement was initiated due to a lack of response from the association's President. The first meeting with Ithraa Al-Jood provided significant insights into the challenges faced by Nigerian operators, particularly regarding Kidana Development and Investment Company, which is responsible for developing and managing the Holy Sites in Makkah.
