The Nigerian Christian Pilgrim Commission (NCPC) has commenced its 2026 General Staff Training Programme for Management and Staff of the Commission on 26th October, 2026 at the Army Resource Centre, Asokoro, Abuja.
Executive Secretary of the Commission, Bishop Prof. Stephen Adegbite, who opened the training, emphasized that his office has been able to organize three consecutive training programmes for staff in three years.
He assured that training and retraining would remain a major plank of his administration and would be continuous as long as he remains the Chief Executive of the Commission.
He said the training underscores the importance of education and urged the staff to take advantage of the training opportunity seriously so that they will be able to make an impact at any time.
Bishop Adegbite said, “We are preparing you for the challenges ahead”. He added, “The biggest room in the world is the room for improvement.”
According to him, the theme of this year's training, “Building a High-Performing NCPC Workforce” was carefully chosen to equip staff with the right professional knowledge to enhance their performance.
He praised the right leadership direction of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the First Lady of Nigeria, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, and Vice President Kashim Shettima, as well as the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Senator George Akume, towards their unflinching support for the Commission.
Earlier, the Director of Administration, Nigerian Christian Pilgrim Commission, Mr. Abu Okpanachi, thanked the Executive Secretary for achieving the three-year consecutive general staff training programme for staff, in addition to the annual staff retreat enjoyed by staff across the Commission's six zonal offices in Nigeria.
He commended the Executive Secretary for his commitment to capacity building, adding that the staff are grateful for your efforts and for your consistency.
Okpanachi also admonished staff to reciprocate the good gesture of the Chief Executive by putting into practice the knowledge gained from the training programme for optimal performance.
In his remarks, the Lead Consultant of the training firm, Dr. Victor Ivoke thanked the Executive Secretary of the Commission for sustaining the three-year training program under his leadership.
He hinted that his firm had included for the first time a combination of digital skills, emotional intelligence, and ICT skills in this year's training to equip staff with the right professional knowledge to navigate through the challenging global space.
