Consequently, Rev. Ujah has been directed to handover to the commission’s Director of Administration, Mrs Esther Kwaghe, pending the appointment of a substantive Executive Secretary.

In the same vein, President Buhari has directed the Office of the Accountant General of the Federation to work out an appropriate framework for the operation of offshore account maintained by the Nigerian Christian Pilgrim Commission and all other federal government agencies in order to streamline their operations.
