The executive secretary of the Nigerian Christian Pilgrim Commission (NCPC), Rev. Tor Uja has disclosed that the commission would convene a National Prayer Summit in Abuja this year.

He disclosed this during a courtesy visit by the Presidential Prayer Team (TPPT) to the NCPC corporate headquarters, Abuja.

Speaking during the visit, the NCPC boss said that it is not Christian to keep quiet in the face of corruption.

Rev. Uja stressed that corruption is not a Christian characteristic and has no biblical support as such he called on Christians to work uprightly and shun corruption.

The NCPC boss called on Nigerians who travel outside this country to see themselves as Pilgrims and to maintain the integrity Nigeria is known for. In his words “I want all Nigerians to believe in Nigeria that all the problems we see today are temporal”.

He affirmed the need for the Church to support the cause of pilgrimage in Nigeria, because according to him, “the Church of Christ is big enough to take the responsibility of pilgrimage”.

Uja thanked his guest for their initiative of setting up a Presidential Prayer Team.

He promised to work with them to establish rectitude in the country.

Earlier, the National President of the Presidential Prayer Team, Elder Emmanuel Ade Bebeyi, who was represented by the National Coordinator, Apostle Olusegun Oyewole, congratulated the NCPC boss on his appointment as the Executive Secretary of NCPC by President Muhammadu Buhari. In his words, “we are here to felicitate with you and to congratulate you”.

He prayed for God to use the present administration to revive the economy of Nigeria, to uphold the new office of the NCPC boss and to grant him the wisdom to execute all the plans God has laid in his hands”

The NCPC boss was overwhelmingly offered  the Patron ship of the Presidential Prayer Team which he accepted.
