Guiding transformative spiritual journeys for Christians to deepen their faith and sense of Community in Nasarawa State and Nigeria.
Empowering Nasarawa State Christian through meaningful Pilgrimages, to grow in Faith, Unity and witness of the word of God.
The Board was created by the Government of Nasarawa State to organise, coordinate and support Christian pilgrims from the state travelling to the Holy Land (e.g., Jerusalem/Israel).
Over time it has handled key tasks such as screening intending pilgrims, arranging logistics and accommodation, and working with the Nigerian Christian Pilgrims Commission (NCPC) to ensure safe pilgrimage operations.
The Board has faced challenges: for example in 2016 the Board cited failure to secure visas and flight schedules as reasons why some pilgrims from the state could not travel.
In 2019 the state government made new appointments for the Board’s leadership to strengthen its operations.
More recently (in June 2025) a new Executive Secretary, Alfa Yusufu Tsenya, was appointed to lead the Board, signaling continued efforts to enhance its performance and service delivery.
The Board submitted its 2024 Christian pilgrimage report to the state governor, showing increased formalisation of its work and recognition of its role in the state’s spiritual development.
