The Executive Secretary Nigerian Christian Pilgrim Commission NCPC, Rev. Dr Yakubu Pam has called on the members of the Nigeria Bar Association (NBA) to continue to uphold law and order in the society.
The NCPC Chief Executive made this call when he received the members of the NBA Gwagwalada Branch on Monday at the NCPC Corporate headquarters in Abuja.
Rev. Pam said that the NBA has a lot to do in the society to maintain and raise awareness on law and order as many people are being misled, especially the youths who are always quick to fall victims to greedy individuals who make them behave and feel above the law.
He appealed to the NBA and relevant bodies in charge of law and order in the country to make it a routine to advocate for law and order in Nigeria.
The NCPC lead intimated his guests on the mandate of the Commission is the only Christian faith-based Agency that has direct link with the Presidency and is saddled with the responsibility of coordinating, regulating and supervising airlifting of Christian Pilgrims to Holy sites around the world.
He also informed them that NCPC already has a very active legal unit that interfaces and guides when it comes to abiding by the law and on issues that has to do with agreements and contracts.
The Apostle of Peace further said that the NBA is welcome to collaborate with NCPC on matters that bother on advocating for peace and keeping the Law.
“We live in a world of collaborations and an individual cannot work alone, we collaborate with doctors, nurses, and even foreign affairs on bilateral relations because collaborations are needed.”
Chairman of NBA, Gwavwalada, Barr. Emmanuel Ogunjibe said the NBA Gwavwalada Chapter was on the courtesy visit Commission to celebrate and identify with the Executive Secretary on his good works while fostering peace, law, and order in the society.
He said they were also interested in knowing what the Commission does and also discuss on areas where they can collaborate with the Commission.
