Private Funding Is Future Of Pilgrimage In Nigeria – SGF by Idrismusty97(m): 9:00am On Sep 07, 2015
The Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Engr. Babachir David Lawal has said the future of pilgrimage in Nigeria lies in private funding or sponsorship, saying no business of government will run as usual.

Speaking at the 2015 annual national pre-pilgrimage retreat of the Nigerian Christian Pilgrim Commission (NCPC), Engr. Lawal noted that President Muhammadu Buhari was focused on reducing the cost of governance and ensuring prudent use of resources.

“As you are aware, President Muhammadu Buhari is focused on reducing the cost of governance and ensuring prudent use of resources. Pilgrimage activities both for
Christians and Muslims must begin to look for private funding. Private funding/sponsorship is the thrust of this
government.

“I am pleased with NCPC’s drive towards self-sustenance and I encourage you to support and sustain this. The future of Christian pilgrimage lies in self-sponsorship. I as the SGF, can only support you,” the SGF
added.

Engr. Lawal charged the participants and stakeholders to make the best of the retreat and come up with ideas.

Sai Buhari! Government fund shouldn't be used for any Religious activities. Next is to start taxing religious institutions. A country with the highest numbers of churchs/mosques yet underdeveloped and corrupt, A country where five of the world's richest pastors reside in yet poverty strives.

religion the biggest scam in Africa. why should govt sponsor pilgrimage. if you want to pray to your God in foreign lands to ask him to provide you with money to travel and not waiting for govt. and by the way God is everywhere u must not go to varican, Israel or mecca .
