The Bid Opening for ground handlers and Air Carriers is scheduled to be held on 11th March 2024 at the NCPC corporate office in Abuja.The Commission would not compromise standards and would ensure that the pilgrims receive value for their money and that their safety and comfort are guaranteed.Lawlessness and recklessness would be over, and there must be sanity in FCT and Nigeria at large.We should guard Nigeria jealously and embrace peace, when there is peace we talk of pilgrimage, but when there is trouble you talk of survival’.Our task is beyond pilgrimage, we are to ensure we foster peaceful coexistence among Nigerians and people of other faiths.
Also speaking the NCPC boss appealed to Nigerians to exercise caution as the current hardship is being experienced, stressing that it’s a global recession and will soon be over.
Protest in the world is all over the news and as such, we should come together to assist one another as a government, church, and individuals because the bible has enjoined us to love our neighbors as ourselves and when you do it, you will receive blessing in return.
