According to the statement, aside the knowledge gained, the training will serve as a morale booster and further spur the workers to give their best in serving the Commission.
The statement explained that the NCPC boss strong belief in capacity building informed his approval that staff be trained in strategic areas of Christian pilgrimage operations barely 100 days of being in office.
