The National Hajj Commission of Nigeria (NAHCON) has commended Lagos State officials and pilgrims for their exemplary conduct during the 2026 Hajj exercise in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
The commendation was given on Thursday by the South-West National Commissioner, Dr. Tajudeen Abefe Oladejo, who led the NAHCON delegation, during an official visit to the Lagos State tent in Mina.
Oladejo said the Commission was impressed with the way officials and pilgrims had conducted themselves and urged them to maintain the standard until the end of the spiritual exercise.
This was as he cautioned pilgrims against carrying excessive luggage on the homebound journey, saying that they should limit themselves to the two 23 kg bags and one 8 kg hand luggage provided.
Besides, Oladejo cautioned them to avoid packing prohibited items such as water, juice, and other liquids.
Responding, the Lagos State Amir-ul-Hajj and Commissioner for Home Affairs, Hon. Olanrewaju Ibrahim Layode, thanked NAHCON for the commendation.
Layode said that the state would, at the appropriate time, meet with NAHCON to discuss areas that required urgent improvement ahead of the 2027 Hajj operation.
Meanwhile, the pilgrims are scheduled to leave Mina for Makkah Friday, where they will remain until the commencement of their homebound journey on June 6, 2026.
