Members of the National Media Team (NMT) of the National Hajj Commission of Nigeria (NAHCON) were on Wednesday, 29th May, 2024 at the office of the Saudi Arabia’s General Authority for Media Regulation (GMedia) in Jeddah on a familiarisation visit. 

As heatstroke is expected to peak as high as 50 degrees Celsius in the coming days, the National Hajj Commission of Nigeria (NAHCON) on Tuesday charged Nigerian pilgrims in Saudi Arabia for this year’s Hajj to drink a lot of water and avoid the sun as much as possible. 

The Saudi Ministry of Hajj and Umrah has cautioned against participating in the hajj without a valid visa. 

The National Hajj Commission of Nigeria (NAHCON) has successfully airlifted 16,088 Nigerian Muslim pilgrims to Saudi Arabia for the 2024 Hajj pilgrimage. 

In a significant move to ensure the health and well-being of Nigerian pilgrims during the 2024 Hajj, the National Hajj Commission of Nigeria (NAHCON) officially received a consignment of essential drugs from the National Primary Healthcare Development Agency (NPHCDA) today.
