The Youth Wing of the Christian Association of Nigeria (YOWICAN) has honoured Barr. Seyi Tinubu as a Christian Youth Peace Ambassador in recognition of his contributions to peace-building, youth development and national unity.
The honour was conferred on Tinubu at the National Christian Youth Security Summit and Thanksgiving, where the Christian youth body commended his commitment to initiatives promoting peaceful coexistence and youth empowerment.
Tinubu, who was represented by Ambassador Belusochukwu Enwere, described the recognition as a greater call to service and responsibility.
He expressed appreciation to the leadership and members of YOWICAN for finding him worthy of the honour, saying he accepted it with humility and renewed determination to support programmes that promote youth development, peace-building, unity and positive social impact.
“Peace goes beyond the absence of conflict. It requires justice, compassion, tolerance, mutual respect and a willingness to work collectively for the common good,” Tinubu said.
He urged Nigerian youths to play a more active role in building a united country where religious, ethnic and cultural differences would serve as sources of strength rather than division.
Tinubu also commended YOWICAN for mobilising Christian youths towards responsible leadership, community development, national unity and peaceful coexistence.
“Your commitment to empowering the next generation is both commendable and necessary at this important time in our nation’s journey,” he said.
He pledged to continue supporting programmes and initiatives aimed at empowering young people and strengthening peaceful coexistence across the country.
Tinubu called on Nigerian youths to embrace peace, love and unity, stressing that Nigeria needed an environment where every young person could dream, contribute to national development and prosper.
“Together, let us choose peace, promote love and build a Nigeria where every young person can dream, contribute and prosper,” he said.
He also prayed for continued strength for YOWICAN and Christian youths across Nigeria in their efforts to promote peace, unity and national development.
