National Hajj Commission of Nigeria (NAHCON) in a statement on Friday said thousands of Nigerian pilgrims may miss the 2026 Hajj after Saudi Arabia’s registration portal closed, leaving many unable to submit their data despite Nigeria securing an increased quota.
The foreign ministers of Qatar, Jordan, the United Arab Emirates, Indonesia, Pakistan, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt have rejected Israel’s recent decision to designate lands in the occupied West Bank as “state land” and approve procedures for land registration and settlement stating that the decision affects the occupied territories and the peace process.
