In a message delivered at the event, Tinubu thanked YOWICAN for the recognition.
He described the honour as a call to greater service and responsibility. He also pledged to continue supporting initiatives that promote youth development, peace-building and national unity.
According to him, peace requires more than the absence of conflict. It also depends on justice, compassion, tolerance and mutual respect.
“Your commitment to empowering the next generation is both commendable and necessary at this important time in our nation’s journey,” he said.
Tinubu also praised YOWICAN for encouraging Christian youths to embrace responsible leadership and community development.

Meanwhile, the President’s son urged young Nigerians to see the country’s religious, ethnic and cultural diversity as a strength rather than a source of division.
He called on youths to contribute to a more peaceful and united Nigeria. In addition, he pledged continued support for programmes focused on youth empowerment and peaceful coexistence.
“Together, let us choose peace, promote love and build a Nigeria where every young person can dream, contribute and prosper,” Tinubu said.
He also prayed for continued strength for YOWICAN and Christian youths across the country.
