THE Nigeria Christian Pilgrim Commission (NCPC), will on 24th July, 2021, flag-off the 2020 pilgrimage to the Kingdom of Jordan.
The flag-off will take place at the Yakubu Gowon Airport, Heipang, Jos, Plateau State.
Executive Secretary of the commission, Rev. Yakubu Pam made the disclosure at a meeting with some select strategic stakeholders in Abuja on Friday.
He affirmed that this would be the first time ever the commission would be airlifting intending pilgrims from the Yakubu Gowon Airport to the holy land.
Rev. Pam described Plateau State as a pilgrimage friendly state, which has in recent time surpassed every other state in the sponsorship of pilgrims to the holy land.
A statement by the commission’s spokesman, Celestine Toruka, said the 2020 NCPC pilgrimage exercise to the Kingdom of Jordan would commence on 24th July and run through August, 2021.
