Delta State Government has expressed dismay with the decision of the Nigerian Christian Pilgrims Commission (NCPC) to centralise COVID-19 tests for intending pilgrims in the state.
The State Commissioner for Information, Mr Charles Aniagwu said in a statement in Asaba, that the centralised COVID-19 test ordered by the NCPC had caused untold hardship to intending pilgrims in the state as 77 of them were not airlifted to Jordan because of the haphazard release of the test results.
Aniagwu said it was disappointing for the intending pilgrims especially as the state had accredited centres to carry out the COVID-19 test in the state.
