Wednesday, December 31, 2025 - President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has congratulated the Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Wale Edun, on his appointment to the Royal Victorian Order by King Charles III.
In a statement yesterday in Abuja by his Special Adviser on
Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, the President welcomed the conferment
of the honour on Edun, describing it as a recognition that reflects both his
longstanding commitment to youth development and the priorities of the current
administration.
King Charles III appointed the Nigerian minister as a
Commander of the Royal Victorian Order (CVO) in recognition of his sustained
contributions to the Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award. This global youth
development initiative equips young people with life skills, character, and
leadership capacity.
The programme operates in several countries, including
Nigeria, where thousands of young people are currently benefitting from its
leadership and personal development framework.
President Tinubu noted that the honour bestowed on Edun, a
key member of his economic management team, aligns with his administration’s
emphasis on youth empowerment, opportunity creation, and national renewal.
The President applauded the minister’s industry and
dedication, describing the recognition as well-deserved, and reaffirmed his
government’s commitment to nurturing Nigeria’s youth as leaders of today and
tomorrow
