As of the latest update, 27,316 pilgrims have been successfully transported back to Nigeria from the holy city of Makkah in Saudi Arabia.
This development comes as a welcome relief to the thousands of Nigerian pilgrims who had been waiting to return home after completing their Hajj rituals.
According to NAHCON, the return airlift operations have witnessed significant improvements, with Nigerian carriers securing increased slot allocations.

NAHCON has expressed optimism that the final inbound transportation of pilgrims will be concluded by July 2, 2025, despite some unforeseen disruptions that may arise.
The commission remains committed to facilitating the earliest possible return for all pilgrims, ensuring their comfort and safety throughout the repatriation process.
The successful transportation of over 27,000 pilgrims is a testament to NAHCON’s dedication to ensuring the welfare of Nigerian pilgrims during the Hajj pilgrimage.
The commission had faced numerous challenges in the past, including flight delays and cancellations, which had resulted in pilgrims spending extended periods in Saudi Arabia.
However, it appears that NAHCON’s efforts to improve the return airlift operations have borne fruit, with thousands of pilgrims already returning home.
As the return airlift operations continue, NAHCON has urged pilgrims to remain patient and cooperative, assuring them that every effort is being made to ensure their safe and timely return.
