The body in charge of pilgrimage (Christian Wing) in Nigeria, the Nigeria Christian Pilgrims Commission has announced the postponment of the resumption of the 2024 pilgrimage to Jerusalem to May from the earlier March proposed date.
This was revealed by the Executive Secretary of the commission, Rev Stephen Adegbite.
“It will commence in June. Between late May and early June, by the grace of God. No price has been fixed for now. The First Lady is not going for now, but it is a possibility in the future,” Adegbite said in a statement.
He also disclosed that First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, would no longer lead a delegation of Christians in government on pilgrimage to Jerusalem over the Easter holidays as earlier planned.
Earlier in January, the commission announced the fares for intending pilgrims as ₦3m, noting that the amount covered “return flight, hotel accommodation, three-course meal per day, and tours of holy sites in both Rome and Greece in executive luxurious buses for six nights and seven days,” stressing however, that the cost was not inclusive of pilgrims traveling allowances.
