The National Hajj Commission of Nigeria has introduced a new digital platform, the Hajj Companion App, aimed at enhancing the overall pilgrimage experience for Nigerian pilgrims’
According to the Commission, the application serves as an all-in-one guide, providing critical support services designed to ensure a safe, seamless, and spiritually fulfilling Hajj. Pilgrims are encouraged to download the app by scanning the designated QR code provided in official communication materials.
The Hajj Companion App integrates several user-focused features, including a GPS navigation system to help pilgrims easily locate their tents and key holy sites across Makkah, Mina, and Madinah. It also offers a comprehensive Hajj guide available in multiple Nigerian languages—Hausa, Yoruba, and Igbo—ensuring accessibility for a broad spectrum of users.
In addition, the platform includes a 24/7 call centre to provide real-time assistance, as well as a built-in complaint system that enables pilgrims to report issues or emergencies directly from their mobile devices. These features are part of NAHCON’s broader commitment to improving service delivery and responsiveness during the pilgrimage.
The Commission urged all intending pilgrims to download and actively use the app, emphasizing its role in promoting safety, coordination, and convenience throughout the Hajj period.
NAHCON further called on stakeholders and the general public to disseminate information about the application widely, as preparations intensify for a smooth and successful Hajj exercise.
