NCPC LAUNCHES WIN A TRIP TO ISRAEL IN TARABA STATE

The Nigerian Christian pilgrim Commission NCPC has launched the ‘Win a Trip to Israel’ Promo in Taraba State. Governor Ishaku Dairus who launched the raffle draw, commended the Executive Secretary of Nigerian Christian Pilgrim Commission, John Kennedy Opara for his visionary leadership style and the innovations he has brought to bear in the Commission.

The Governor further said that the “Win a Trip to Israel” was a laudable programme as it would help government to withdraw from sponsorship of intending pilgrims.

 Governor Dairus affirmed that he would try as much as possible to encourage Christians to go on pilgrimage,  adding that the benefits of pilgrimage is enormous, In his words, “I was really blessed during the 2015 A Day with Jesus in Israel”.

He paid for 16,000 tickets for the 16 Local Government Areas of the State. According to him, “each local government would share 1000 tickets, to enable those who cannot afford the cost of pilgrimage to Israel, to benefit from the draw”.

The Governor promised to sponsor 100 Youths to participate in the Commission’s Youth Pilgrimage to enable the youths in Taraba state benefit from the Skill Acquisition Programme. According to him, “I know the youths will learn skills that will make them independent”.

The Executive Secretary of Nigerian Christian Pilgrim Commission (NCPC), John Kennedy Opara, in his remark, stressed that the idea of the ‘Win a Trip to Israel’ was born out of the need to afford many Christians the opportunity to embark on Holy pilgrimage to Israel in view of the economic situation of the country, at no cost to the state or federal government.

 The two lucky winners that emerged in the ‘Win a Trip to Israel’ raffle draw were Miss Sapdira Bem and Mr. Woburi Ezekiel.

The win a trip to Israel in Taraba was powered by the ‘Fortune Game Nigeria Limited’, Nigerian Christian Pilgrim Commission (NCPC), National Lottery Regulatory Commission (NLRC)” and Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN).
