The Youth Wing of the Christian Association of Nigeria (YOWICAN) has honored Barr. Seyi Tinubu as a Christian Youth Peace Ambassador.
Tinubu received the recognition during the National Christian Youth Security Summit and Thanksgiving, where YOWICAN commended his commitment to peace, youth development and national unity.
In a message of appreciation while receiving the recognition, Tinubu who was represented by Ambassador Belusochukwu Enwere, expressed appreciation to the leadership and members of YOWICAN for finding him worthy of the recognition, describing it as a greater call to service and responsibility.
He said he accepted the honour with humility and renewed determination to support initiatives that promote youth development, peace-building, unity and positive social impact.
According to him, peace goes beyond the absence of conflict, stressing that it requires justice, compassion, tolerance, mutual respect and a willingness to work collectively for the common good.
Tinubu urged young Nigerians to play a critical role in building a united country where religious, ethnic and cultural differences would serve as sources of strength rather than division.
He commended YOWICAN for its efforts to mobilise 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 further pledged to continue supporting programmes and initiatives capable of empowering young people and promoting peaceful coexistence across the country.
Tinubu called on Nigerian youths to embrace peace, love and unity, saying the country 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 and national development.
