According to Bishop Adegbite, under his leadership, the spiritual content of Christian pilgrimage will be enhanced and rejuvenated, alongside the developmental content of pilgrimage. He emphasized that the era when pilgrimage was considered a jamboree is over.
The NCPC boss commended the efforts of the zonal staff for their commitment and hard work, stating, “If we do not have you here, we cannot be everywhere.” He promised to strengthen the zone for effective service delivery and assured them of better days ahead. He also promised to ensure that the zones would be allowed to effectively handle the activities under their zones without any encumbrances.
Bishop Adegbite urged the staff of the North Central zonal office to continue putting in their best, stating that he would look into the issue of their office accommodation with a view to providing a better alternative. He also enjoined them to key into the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, stressing that the President means well for the country.
The Commission has declared this year as “our year of Renewed Hope and Satisfaction,” in tandem with the new Corporate Slogan of the Commission, “NCPC… Service and Satisfaction.”
Earlier, the Zonal Coordinator, North Central zonal office, Mr. Aso Simon, welcomed the Executive Secretary to the zone. He affirmed that the visit would uplift them spiritually and morally. He urged the Executive Secretary to ensure that the zones are carried along in the scheme of things, such as screening of intending pilgrims and participation in airport supervision within the zone.
