2026 HAJJ: Niger State Pilgrims Welfare Board Announces First Flight Schedule
The Niger State Pilgrims’ Welfare Board wishes to inform the public, especially prospective pilgrims, that the first flight to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for the 2026 Hajj is scheduled for Monday, May 11, 2026.
In a press statement issued and signed by Sheik Muhammad Awwal Aliyu, the Executive Secretary, it was stated that the flight, with a capacity of 345, will carry pilgrims from the Chanchaga and Borgu Local Government Areas.
Pilgrims are advised to arrive at the Minna Hajj Camp on Sunday evening to undergo early medical screening and other security checks in preparation for departure on Monday.
The Board also reminds all intending pilgrims that the E-Nusuk grouping system does not permit flight changes; therefore, any no-show will forfeit their seat for the 2026 Hajj.
For inquiries and further information about flight schedules, pilgrims are encouraged to stay tuned to announcements on radio stations or visit our Facebook page @- NGS Pilgrims’ Welfare Board, @- NSPWB on TikTok, and other social media platforms.
Attached are the bus groupings for each pilgrim on the first flight.
