Bishop Adegbite stressed the importance of serving God within the government framework. He affirmed that Christians in government should be exemplary in their conduct, serving as change agents in their areas of responsibility. He also emphasized that “we can do all things through Christ who strengthens us.”

Regarding the ongoing 2024 Main Pilgrimage exercise, Bishop Adegbite reported that it is progressing smoothly. The third batch of pilgrims is expected to return on January 23rd, while the fourth batch from Adamawa, Taraba, and Borno will be airlifted to Israel and Jordan on January 24th.

Bishop Adegbite commended President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for his support in advancing the cause of Christian pilgrimage in Nigeria.

During the visit, Bishop Adegbite solicited the support of Chief Okunowo in the building and completion of the Commission’s legacy project, the Heritage Camp, located in the Business District Center of Abuja. He said that such support could come in the form of donations and technical assistance, and that when completed, the Heritage Camp would serve as a source of internally generated revenue for the Commission.

Earlier, Chief Okunowo congratulated Bishop Adegbite on his appointment, acknowledging his excellent performance and commitment to serving God and humanity. He described Bishop Adegbite’s appointment as “truly divine, a testament to the recognition of your hard work and commitment to your selfless service to God and humanity.”
