2026 HAJJ: PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT ON THE FOURTH FLIGHT SCHEDULE
The Niger State Pilgrims’ Welfare Board hereby informs the public, particularly prospective pilgrims, that the fourth batch of pilgrims will be airlifted to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for the 2026 Hajj on Friday, 15th May 2026.
In a statement issued by Sheik Muhammad Awwal Aliyu, Executive Secretary of the Niger State Pilgrims Welfare Board, on 14th May 2026, it was announced that the flight, with a capacity of 428 passengers, will transport pilgrims from Lapai, Bida, Shiroro, Rafi, Mokwa, Agaie, and Borgu local government areas.
Pilgrims are advised to arrive at the Minna Hajj Camp on Thursday evening for early medical screenings and security checks to facilitate a smooth departure on Friday.
The Board also advises all prospective pilgrims that the E-Nusuk grouping system does not permit flight changes; therefore, any no-shows will forfeit their 2026 Hajj seats.
For further information and inquiries regarding flight schedules, pilgrims are encouraged to contact their respective Area Pilgrims Welfare Officers, listen to official radio announcements, or visit our social media platforms, including Facebook (@NGS Pilgrims’ Welfare Board), TikTok (@NSPWB), and others.
