NCP calls for creation of African currency

The Nigerian Christian Pilgrims Commission (NCPC) has called for the creation of African currency that would link African nations together to encourage investments and enable the world benefit from the continent.

The executive secretary, NCPC, Reverend Tor Uja disclosed this recently while playing host to the Ghanaian Minister, Religious and Chiefaincy Affairs, Kofi Dzamesi during a three-day working visit of the delegation to the commission in Abuja.

Uja, while calling on African leaders to enable citizens to believe in the continent, he urged them to provide a healthy mentality that will secure enabling environment for development and advancement.

He added, “Africa is not just vibrant, but a continent with a future. The languages we speak are colonials, we have our own languages, but the obstacles we see is the colonial heritage we need to overcome and come out of the colonial scheme.

“We need to build an economy that will build African nations more closely rather than believing in Europe and America.”

Uja lauded the Ghanaian minister for reinventing the existing relationship between Nigeria and Ghana by embarking on a working visit to understudy NCPC on pilgrimage strategy.

He assured the minister of his readiness to partner with Ghana in solving the challenges faced during pilgrimage.

“We are ready to partner and share our thoughts and our engagements with you will continue to be productive,” he said.
