2015 Ogun Christian pilgrimage in retrospect

SIR: I will like to commend the Ogun State Christian Pilgrims Welfare Board for the successful conduct of the December 2015 Jerusalem Pilgrimage for Christians in Ogun State.

The exercise which had a total number of 179 pilgrims as participants was hitch- free. The state government put in place necessary infrastructure to ensure that the pilgrimage went on smoothly. It also ensured the inclusion of security personnel and health professionals on the pilgrimage.

Worthy of mention is the professional way the Board conducted the processes involved. They were prompt, efficient and thorough in the discharge of their duties. Indeed the immense benefit of the pilgrimage is unquantifiable. Aside from the fact that it was an opportunity for spiritual rejuvenation and rediscovery, it also afforded the pilgrims an opportunity to physically witness the places that they have read about in the Bible.

I will like to implore the pilgrims not to forget the lessons learnt from the pilgrimage and they should let it reflect in their day-to-day conduct.
