The executive secretary of the Nigerian Christian Pilgrim Commission, Rev. Dr. Yakubu
Pam, has been decorated with a gold lapel by the International Human Rights Commission for his distinguished service to humanity.
The event took place in the office of the executive secretary at the NCPC corporate headquarters on 5th October,2022, according to a statement that was issued by the senior Information officer, Godiya Mathew.
Rev. Pam in his remarks said he was privileged to be decorated with the gold medal as he has worked closely with the International Human Rights Commission Nigeria where well-respected men and women in Nigeria come together to share ideas on how to maintain justice and promote the cause of humanity.
He also congratulated the newly appointed country head and head of diplomatic mission in Nigeria, Ambassador Duru Hezekiah, in his words, “ I am delighted to see a Christian believer emerging as the leader of IHRC”. He encouraged the Ambassador to be strong and courageous just like Moses in the Holy Book, “do your best and don’t do more than your best,” he said.
The NCPC boss hinted that the country is now in its dark times where morality and good ethics of life are no longer in practice. He therefore called on youths to brace themselves, stating that with good leadership, they can bring back our years of glory, where Nigeria can have a working system just like it is done in other developed countries. He encouraged the youths to participate actively in the forthcoming general election.
Earlier, the former head of diplomatic mission in Nigeria, Amb. Friday Sani said the delegation was in the commission to formally introduce a new executive secretary to the head of diplomatic mission in Nigeria, Amb. Duru Hezekiah.
Sani appreciated the Executive Secretary for his support to the IHRC and the headquarters having recognised his efforts and service to humanity and found him worthy to be decorated with a gold medal recognising him as a veteran who has done good to the society.
He applauded the executive secretary for his support during his tenure as country head that has got him promoted to the rank of the high commissioner for African regional diplomatic headquarters.
