Tinubu Hails Edun’s Appointment To Royal Victorian Order

President Bola Tinubu has congratulated the Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Wale Edun, on his appointment to the Royal Victorian Order by His Majesty King Charles III of England.

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.

In a statement by his spokesman, Bayo Onanuga, President Tinubu welcomed the exceptional honour bestowed on the Minister, a pivotal member of his cabinet, and acknowledged that the recognition aligned with the priority his administration places on youth empowerment, opportunity, and national renewal.

The President commended Mr Edun’s industry and dedication, and reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to developing Nigeria’s youth as leaders of today and tomorrow.
