The Executive Secretary, the Nigerian Christian Pilgrim Commission (NCPC), Rev. Dr. Yakubu Pam has harped on repositioning the Commission for effective service delivery.
He made the call on Tuesday at NCPC Chapel during a review strategic prayer meeting with the Management and staff of the Commission at the Headquarters as well as the zonal office staff, who joined virtually.
The NCPC boss stressed that the Commission stood in the gap from the commencement of the 2023 general elections to the end, by urging the pilgrims of the 2022 main pilgrimage exercise to Israel and Jordan to pray fervently for a hitch election and for peace to reign supreme in Nigeria.
He affirmed that God indeed answered the prayers of our pilgrims as the elections had come and gone.
The Executive Secretary, who spoke on the theme, of “Breaking Limitations” took his biblical references from the book of Luke Chapter 5 verse 2, and called on the staff not to depend on their human powers. He said they need the power of faith to break limitations. According to him, “If you have great faith, you can go places”.

Rev. Pam further hinted that the Commission would be repositioned for better service delivery and to break limitations. His words, “we are repositioning NCPC to break the powers of limitations”.
He affirmed that the Commission was poised to have a new name and a new beginning, adding that if he did not reposition the Commission, history will not forgive him.
Rev. Pam thanked the staff of the Commission for their commitment to duty, especially the role they played in the successful conclusion of the 2022 main pilgrimage exercise.
“It is my duty to thank you all for your contributions in the last pilgrimage of 2022” he said.
He emphasized on the need for staff to imbibe the spirit of brotherhood, unanimity of purpose and oneness. His words, “you have done me proud”.
The NCPC helmsman reiterated that since his assumption of office as the third substantive Executive Secretary of the Commission; he did everything humanly possible to identify with the staff.
He posited that if he could put more of his strength on the staff, the Commission would be able to produce the best hands in the public service, saying that the need for the Commission to be financially independent cannot be overemphasised.
