The agenda features key activities, including a bilateral meeting and the MoU signing on January 12, where Ambassador Yusuf Tuggar, Minister of Foreign Affairs, is expected to sign on behalf of Nigeria.

The delegation will also participate in the International Hajj Expo starting January 13 to evaluate service providers for Nigerian pilgrims.


Preparatory Meetings and Inspections


In addition to attending the Expo, NAHCON will engage with consular officials, other Hajj missions, and e-track registration portal supervisors. Meetings with the General Authority of Civil Aviation will focus on finalizing logistics.


Simultaneously, NAHCON staff will inspect accommodations, catering, and medical facilities in Makkah and Madinah to ensure compliance with required standards before signing contracts with key service providers such as United Agents, Car Syndicates, and health supervision companies.

This visit underscores NAHCON’s commitment to ensuring a smooth and efficient Hajj experience for Nigerian pilgrims.
