Executive Secretary, Nigerian Christian Pilgrim Commission, Rev. Dr Yakubu Pam with pilgrimage managers arriving Jordan from Israel for the State of Readiness Visit preparatory for the 2021 Main pilgrimage Q1 this year
By Anthony Maliki
The Executive Secretary of the Nigerian Christian Pilgrim Commission, NCPC, Rev. Dr Yakubu Pam and his delegation has arrived Amman, Jordan Wednesday, February 2, 2022 for the State of Readiness Visit on the forth coming pilgrimage exercise to Israel and Jordan.
It will be recalled that the Nigerian Christian Pilgrim Commission (NCPC), working with the mandate given to the Commission to conduct pilgrimage activities to holy sites around the world, last year included Jordan on the list of her pilgrimage destination and successfully conducted the pilgrimage exercise to the Kingdom of Jordan amidst the COVID-19 global pandemic.
This was contained in a statement by Godiya Mathew, NCPC Information Officer to Apex News Exclusive.
Rev. Pam and his delegation are in Jordan to ascertain the preparedness of the ground handlers and to visit the holy sites and inspect the hotels for intending pilgrims and as well inspect the Air crafts at Queen Alia Airport.
The kingdom of Jordan is a home to religious, archeological and tourist sights, with the population of about 11 million, of which 97% are Muslims and 3% Christians , it is recorded to be the most peaceful country in the middle east, and a safe and peaceful country with narrow streets.
The NCPC Boss and the pilgrimage managers were received in Jordan with great grandeur, which clearly shows the acceptance of the Christian Pilgrimage in the Kingdom of Jordan.
