The executive secretary of the Nigeria Christian Pilgrim Commission (NCPC), Rev. Tor Uja has called on the people of Benue State and Nigerians in general to unite the Benue and the country at large with their earnest prayer.
Uja, who made the call when Christian appointees of Benue State paid him a courtesy visit at the NCPC Corporate headquarters, Abuja, said, “I want the people of Benue and Nigeria at large to rise up and unite Nigeria with their prayers’.
Speaking during the courtesy visit, the executive secretary of NCPC, Rev. Tor Uja told his guest that he was delighted to have them in his office. In his words, “this is one of the best visits of my life. I am so over joy because this is my people who we share a covenant of life with”.
Rev. Uja informed that the Commission is working towards making NCPC a self sustaining, self governing and self propagating so that the Commission would be an enviable place where people come and see the manifestation of God.
He intimated that the commission would introduce Agricultural pilgrimage which would help farmers in Nigeria learn new agricultural skills to improve on the skills they have. In his words, “we will make the farmers undergo the spiritual training before exposing them to agriculture”.
The NCPC Boss stressed that he is planning to build an international link between Benue State and the State of Israel to afford Benue State the leverage on their agricultural strength and afford them the opportunity to learn new agricultural techniques that would help the economy of the state.
He informed that Benue State is the largest producer of Citrus in Nigeria, but the state is only able to consume 30% of the oranges produced. He further informed that he is liaising with the Israeli authorities to partner with the state to savage the 70% of the Oranges produced, and put an end to wastage.
The NCPC helmsman affirmed that Nigeria has the most vibrant church in the world and called on the leaders of the church to be united in prayers and help reshape Nigeria. According to him, “I want the people of Benue and Nigeria at large to rise up and unite Nigeria with their prayers”.
He also informed that on the 18th of July, the Commission would be organizing a dedication service to dedicate the commission into God’s hand.
Earlier, the Chaplain of the Benue State Chapel, Evang. Daniel Unongo said that the appointment of Rev. Uja is an elevation to the kingdom of God and to Benue State. He informed that they have come to identify with the NCPC boss. In his words, “we have come to identify with you and we know that you will not deny your brethren”.
He assured the Executive Secretary of their fervent prayers and support for him. According to him, we are praying for you, we are standing for you and no matter the storm we know you will not fail because you are built on a rock”.
