The announcement, delivered in January 2024 by the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Ajuri Ngelale, also introduced eight other distinguished board members of the Commission.

Effective from January 4, Bishop Adegbite’s appointment is slated for a five-year term, aligning with the NCPC enabling Act of 2007.

The inauguration ceremony took place at the NCPC Corporate Headquarters in Abuja, where Bishop Adegbite received a warm welcome from new board members representing the North Central and South South geopolitical zones, members of the clergy, and other esteemed guests.

In a press briefing, the newly appointed NCPC leader described his new role as “divine” and a “new dawn” for the Commission, promising renewed hope and satisfaction for all stakeholders.

He expressed his commitment to advancing President Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda, emphasizing his extensive experience in the pilgrimage sector as a valuable asset for propelling the NCPC forward.

Bishop Adegbite reaffirmed Israel as the primary pilgrimage destination for Nigerian Christians, encouraging continuous prayers for peace in Jerusalem and announcing plans to “reopen the Jerusalem gate very soon.”

Acknowledging the familiarity of the NCPC environment, given his previous interactions with about half of the Commission’s staff, he assured them of a positive and inclusive administration under his leadership.

With a rich background as the Chairman of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) Lagos State Chapter, Metropolitan Bishop of the Methodist Church in Ikeja, Lagos, and former Director of Planning and Strategy to the immediate past CAN President, Bishop Adegbite brings a wealth of experience and leadership to the NCPC.

He vowed to serve as a servant leader, emphasizing collaboration and unity within the Commission.
