Lagos, Nigeria – Archbishop-Designate Dr. Isaac Idahosa has publicly congratulated Bishop Stephen Adegbite, Executive Secretary of the National Christian Pilgrims National Christian Pilgrim Commission (NCPC), on the one-year anniversary of his appointment. In a press release issued today, Idahosa lauded Adegbite’s transformative leadership and unwavering commitment to service.
“Bishop Adegbite displays courage, accountability, resilience, integrity, humility, and a sense of productivity in leadership. We are proud of the honor he consistently embodies,” Archbishop Idahosa stated. He further commended Adegbite’s “visionary and result-oriented approach,” which has driven significant progress at the NCPC over the past year.
Bishop Adegbite, a prominent figure in Nigeria’s Christian community, also serves as Chairman of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) in Lagos State. Known for his unifying influence, he is widely respected across religious and political circles.
Adegbite gained national attention ahead of the 2023 general elections as one of the most vocal Christian supporters of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

Reflecting on his tenure, observers highlight Adegbite’s emphasis on accountability and interfaith collaboration at the NCPC, as well as his efforts to expand pilgrimage opportunities for Nigerian Christians. His leadership has been described as a “breath of fresh air” in fostering transparency and inclusivity.
As the nation marks this milestone, stakeholders express optimism for continued advancements under Adegbite’s stewardship. “His legacy is already taking shape,” Archbishop Idahosa remarked. “We pray for greater wisdom and divine guidance in the years ahead.”
