The National Orientation Agency (NOA) has tasked Christian intending pilgrims from Kwara State to be good ambassadors of Nigeria.
The state Director of NOA, Mr. Olusegun Adeyemi made the disclosure during a sensitisation programme by Kwara State Christian Pilgrim Welfare Board held at ECWA IDD event centre, Ilorin, on Tuesday.
He said, “It is important you comport yourself well in dressing, manners of talking, eating and movement with other brethren.”
Adeyemi further urged the pilgrims to obey constituted authority and immigration laws as directed by the board officials.
Similarly, the Comptroller of Immigration, Mrs. Abimbolu Abiodun Ojo who was represented by DSI Adeyemi Adeola urged the pilgrims to get all their travel documents legally.
Speaking on median trips, Dr. Oluwatoyin Eneah advised the pilgrims to have adequate check up while also charging them to use the opportunity of the pilgrimage to pray for peace to reign in the country.
Also speaking, the state Chairman of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) Prof. Timothy Opoola described the journey to Jerusalem as a spiritual exercise.
He however urged the pilgrims to abide by the rules and regulation of the Holy Land.
