Nigerian pilgrims will only spend five days in Madinah before moving to Makkah for their holy pilgrimage, according to the National Hajj Commission. This change is aimed at preventing overcrowding and ensuring all pilgrims visit Madinah before Arafat. The reduced time in Madinah will help avoid sanctions for overcrowding and was introduced after extensive consultation by the commission.

NAHCON introduces a new policy for Nigerian pilgrims visiting Madinah during the 2023 Hajj, allowing only five days in the city to address overcrowding complaints. The decision aims to synchronize transportation with the availability of beds and ensure a seamless and comfortable experience. The policy will come into effect on June 8, 2023, before Arafat, a crucial stage of the Hajj. A reduction in days spent in Madinah is well-received, with NAHCON promising to sustain it for the benefit of Nigerian pilgrims.

Nigerian pilgrims' stay in Medina during Hajj will be shortened to five days in 2023 to ease overcrowding and avoid penalties. With the new policy, more pilgrims will be able to travel to Medina, and the Hajj commission hopes to achieve a smooth experience for all. The policy requires the support of all involved parties to achieve a successful 2023 Hajj.
