NCPC , CPWBS GEAR UP FOR THE 2013 CHRISTAIN PILGRIMAGE



The Nigerian Christian Pilgrim Commission (NCPC) and the States Christian Pilgrim Welfare Boards have begun earnest preparation for the 2013 Christian Pilgrimage Exercise.

The Members of the NCPC Board and the State Chairmen and Secretaries of the Christian Pilgrim Welfare Boards across the Country converged for a Pre-Visit to the State of Israel, Rome and Greece for the inspection of Hotels, facilities and Biblical Sites as well as bid opening and evaluation for interested Ground Handlers who had earlier submitted their bids for 2013 pilgrimage exercise.

In his welcome address at the Marada Suites Matanya Israel, where the Chairmen and Secretaries were lodged, the Primate of the Church of Nigeria Anglican Communion, who is also the Chairman of the NCPC Board, Most Rev. Nicholas Okoh thanked God for the safe trip he granted all delegates who have come from different states. 
He urged the NCPC Board Members, staff and the delegates of the CPWBs to carefully inspect the Hotels that would be visited in order to ensure that Nigerian Pilgrims are given the best.
The NCPC Chairman carefully spelt out the bench mark and the pre-requisitie for the Hotel inspection and advised the delegates not to compromise standards because according to him, “we want to be sure that the Hotels are well checked, our work is well done and we will certify that they are  fit or not”.
