As the the Nigeria Pilgrim Commission, NPC, plans the 2020 pilgrimage excerise, Executive Secretary, Rev Yakubu Pam has promised a hitch free Pilgrim for Nigerians.

Pam in a press release made available to Daybreak today said that the Commission is putting necessary measure to ensure a successful excerise which comes up in December 2020.

According to the release signed by Celestine Toruka, Rev. Pam  disclosed this recently during the Meeting of Pilgrimage Leaders and Managers at NCPC Corporate Headquarters in Abuja.

He said that already the Conference of States was convened in anticipation of the 2020 December General Pilgrimage exercise to Israel, Greece and Rome.

He said, ‘we are planning to make sure that we have the best operation this year in terms of having a Zero abscondment.”

He stressed that the Commission plans to have the best operation this year by providing the best service both on air and on ground while in Israel, as this would make pilgrims feel honoured and appreciated , and  also to ensure that Nigeria is well represented in the Holy Land.

Meanwhile, Rev. Pam admonished  fthat pilgrimage exercise should not be seen as tourism rather it should be seen as a spiritual journey with added value.

The Chairman of Conference of States, Rev. Isaiah Magaji on behalf of the Conference of States, commended Rev. Pam’s mission and vision for the Commission, adding that his visits to the zones and states to encourage the staff of Pilgrims Welfare Boards and also the Christian Pilgrimage Operators is an expression of his assurance of total support and loyalty.
