President Bola Ahmed Tinubu congratulates Mr Wale Edun, Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, on his appointment to the Royal Victorian Order by His Majesty King Charles III.
King Charles III appointed Mr Edun as Commander of the Royal Victorian Order (CVO) in recognition of his longstanding work with the Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award.
The Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award is a global youth development programme that supports young people worldwide in building character, skills, and leadership, including in Nigeria, where thousands of young people currently benefit from the programme.
President Tinubu welcomes the exceptional honour bestowed on the Minister, a pivotal member of his cabinet, and acknowledges that the recognition aligns with the priority his administration places on youth empowerment, opportunity, and national renewal.
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.
