The Nasarawa state Governor Tanko Al-Makura has accepted to sponsor 350 Christians from the state for the 2013 pilgrimage exercise to Israel.<\/span><\/p>\n

Governor Al-Makura gave the approval in Lafia, the Nasarawa state capital when he received a delegation from the Nigerian Christian Pilgrims Commission led by the Executive Secretary, Mr. John Okpara.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Governor says his administration will not only increase the number of Christians to the holy pilgrimage, but will ensure a robust religious exercise for pilgrims from the state.<\/span><\/p>\n

Aside from the approval of the pilgrims for this year\u2019s exercise, the state government also approved new vehicles for the state pilgrim welfare board and promised to construct a permanent office for the board.<\/span><\/p>\n
