While commending President Bola Tinubu for the support given to the commission, Reverend Pam, pledged that the commission, under his leadership, will continue to ensure that the welfare of staff remains a top priority.
The Nigerian Christian Pilgrim Commission has already visited the Christian Holy Sites in Turkey, and this retreat is part of its strategic plans for leadership transformation and productivity.
