The Executive Secretary of the Nigerian Christian Pilgrim Commission (NCPC), Bishop Stephen Adegbite, has stated that the duty of the Commission under his watch goes beyond organizing pilgrimages, but also fostering peace and unity in Nigeria.
Bishop Adegbite stated this during a courtesy visit from the Executives of the Tekan Women Fellowship Association, Jos, at the NCPC headquarters in Abuja.
The NCPC boss commended the women for their resilience and dedication to service in the Christian community.
He specifically acknowledged the First Lady of Nigeria, Sen. Oluremi Tinubu, describing her as the “Esther of our time” and a “beacon of hope and light” to the body of Christ.
Bishop Adegbite assured the Association of his support for their forthcoming program in March. He expressed his commitment to running his office with integrity, stating, “I will run this office with a clean hand, and show people how it is done.”
Earlier, Rev. Dr. Achuche Zaka, Chairman of the planning committee, praised Bishop Adegbite for his excellent leadership style, stating that “people are watching you from afar, and you have earned the respect of many.”
Rev. Zaka invited the NCPC boss as a special guest of honour to the Association’s golden jubilee anniversary coming up in March.
In addition, Bishop Adegbite will receive a Distinguished Excellent Service award during their forthcoming national programme.
