    Nigerian Pilgrims To Begin Return From Saudi Arabia On Monday — NAHCON

    The National Hajj Commission of Nigeria (NAHCON) has announced that the return journey for Nigerian pilgrims who participated in the 2025 Hajj will commence on Monday, June 9.

    The Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of NAHCON, Professor Abdullahi Saleh, disclosed this on Friday in Minna while felicitating with the Muslim Ummah on the occasion of Eid al-Adha.

    Professor Saleh noted that the first batch of returning pilgrims would include contingents from Imo State flying with Air Peace, Bauchi State with Max Air, and Kebbi and Sokoto States with Flynas.

    “The return journey for Nigerian pilgrims will begin on the 13th of Dhul-Hijjah, corresponding to June 9. We urge the first set of pilgrims to prepare adequately and pray for a smooth and safe return operation for all,” he said.

    He commended the pilgrims for their discipline and cooperation, noting that their conduct contributed significantly to the success of the Hajj operations this year.

    While congratulating the Muslim faithful, Saleh emphasised the spiritual significance of the Hajj and called for a reflection on its core lessons.

    He drew attention to the unwavering trust of Hajara (Hagar), the mother of Prophet Isma’il, and the obedience of Prophet Ibrahim, both of whom played vital roles in Islamic tradition and whose acts of faith continue to inspire millions.

    “Let us remember how trust in Allah by Sayyidatuna Hajara led to the miracle of Zamzam, and how the sacrifice of Prophet Ibrahim, who left his family in a barren land trusting in Allah, brought forth the thriving city of Makkah,” he said.

    The NAHCON boss further acknowledged the contributions of various stakeholders, including the State Muslim Pilgrims Welfare Boards and the Commission’s staff, some of whom served while still in the state of ihram (consecration).

    He also expressed gratitude to President Bola Tinubu and Vice President Kashim Shettima for their support in ensuring a seamless Hajj operation.

    “We also recognise the quality services provided during the Mashair rituals in Mina, Arafat, and Muzdalifah. NAHCON remains committed to improving Hajj operations through the continued collaboration of all parties involved,” he concluded.

    The 2025 Hajj, one of the largest religious gatherings in the world, drew pilgrims from across Nigeria, many of whom are now preparing for their journey back home.
