The Executive Secretary of the Nigerian Christian Pilgrims Commission, Rev. Yakubu Pam has appointed the Catholic Archbishop of Abuja, Rev. Dr Ignatius Kaigama to lead the 2021 main/2022 Easter pilgrimage to Israel, Rome, Greece and Jordan as the spiritual Father.

A signed statement by the Information Officer I, NCPC Media and Public Relations Unit, Kande Ibrahim indicates that the NCPC Boss disclosed this while addressing the Catholic Bishop Conference of Nigeria in their first plenary in Abuja.

Rev. Pam in his address, appreciated the Catholic Church worldwide for their services to God and humanity in making sure the Christian Holy Sites in the world are preserved.

He also lauded the Catholic Church for putting time and resources in preservation and building cathedrals and maintenance of its facilities to make sure history is preserved.

Rev. Pam praised the preservation of the Church in Antioch in Turkey and Mount Nebo in Jordan as he said, “I was in Turkey in Antioch were Christians were first called Christians and Tarsus the house of Paul and also Mount Nebo in Jordan all these were well preserved by the Catholic Church.”

Rev Pam showed deep appreciation to the Catholic Church for its tremendous efforts in wisdom and obedience to the Law of the land while he also intimated them that NCPC is the only agency saddled with the responsibility of regulating pilgrimage in Nigeria which he said came as a result of the wisdom of the Catholic Church in Nigeria who were able to put a document alongside other stakeholders to establish the NCPC Act which empowers it to regulate and give the approval of Visa to intending Pilgrims through the then Ambassador of Italy.

He further informed the Bishops of the role of NCPC in coordinating Christian Pilgrimage regardless of denominations while he hint them of his meeting with the Ambassador of Italy to Nigeria who he said, informed him that all COVID-19 travel restrictions has been lifted making it clear that no Pilgrim will go to Rome except through the regulating body of the NCPC.

Rev. Pam disclosed that since the restrictions to Rome has been lifted NCPC will commence in full its Pilgrimage to Rome, Israel, Jordan and to Israel-Rome accordingly.
