As the Naira today crashes to 241 to the Dollar,
the Federal Government has pegged $1 at N160
for intending pilgrims to Israel and Saudi Arabia
in 2015.
Mr John-Kennedy Opara, the Executive Secretary,
Nigerian Christian Pilgrims Commission (NCPC),
made this new revelation.
Opara made this known in Abuja on Monday while
briefing State House correspondents shortly after
briefing President Muhammadu Buhari on the
activities of the commission.
He said that Buhari had agreed to continue to
support both NCPC and the National Hajj
Commission.
The executive secretary further explained that the
President agreed to encourage the two religious
bodies to become self-sustaining by making
pilgrims to pay their pilgrimage bills and thus
remove government’s sponsorship.
