President Muhammadu Buhari has terminated the appointment of Rev. Tor Ujah, as the Executive Secretary, Nigerian Christian Pilgrim Commission (NCPC). This was made known to the media on Tuesday via a statement from the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (OSGF).

The Director Information, OSGF, Willie Bassey, who issued the statement on behalf of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Boss Mustapha, said the decision to terminate the appointment was in line with the provision of Section 4, Sub Section 3 of the Nigerian Christian Pilgrim Commission Act. The statement subsequently directed Rev. Ujah to hand over to Mrs. Esther Kwaghe, Director of Administration in the Commission, who is to oversee the Office, pending the appointment of a substantive Executive Secretary.

Ujah, who was appointed in 2016, was in October last year asked to proceed on administrative suspension by Mustapha over multiple allegations of diversion of funds at the agency on his watch.
In a related development, President Buhari, has also directed the Office of the Accountant General of the Federation to work out an appropriate framework for the operation of offshore account maintained by the Nigerian Christian Pilgrim Commission, and all other federal government agencies in order to streamline their operations.
