Ondo State Governor, Rotimi Akeredolu Bans Sponsorship of Pilgrimage in The State

The governor of Ondo State, Rotimi Akeredolu, has said his administration will stop sponsoring Christians and Muslims on Holy Pilgrimage due to paucity of funds and the need for prudent management of available state resources.

Akeredolu who disclosed this when he received the executive secretary of the Nigeria Christian Pilgrims Commission, Uja Tor Uja, added that the commission should encourage churches for such sponsorship rather than looking up to government in view of the lean resources accruing to the government at the moment. He stressed the need to encourage churches and wealthy individuals to sponsor intending pilgrims.
