Whilecommending President Bola Tinubu Bola 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.
Plateau State Governor Caleb Mutfwang, disclosed that his administration attaches great importance to the spiritual lives of citizens, and pledged to continue supporting pilgrimage activities.
