President Tinubu welcomed the honor given to Edun, describing him as an important member of his cabinet. He stated that this recognition aligns with his administration’s focus on youth empowerment and national renewal.
The President said: “The President commends Mr Edun’s industry and dedication, and reaffirms his administration’s commitment to developing Nigeria’s youth as leaders of today and tomorrow.”
