A Thanksgiving service and the launch of one million Holy Bibles in honour of Seyi Tinubu, son of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, was held at the National Christian Centre in Abuja on Sunday.
The event, organised by friends of Seyi Tinubu and coordinated by Belusochukwu Enwere, national president of the Youth Wing of the Christian Association of Nigeria (YOWICAN), brought together Christian leaders, political figures, and youth representatives from across the country.

According to the organisers, the project aims to promote moral rebirth and strengthen Christian values among Nigerian youths.
They said the Bibles would be distributed nationwide across churches and communities to encourage godly leadership and Christ-like virtues.
Enwere described Seyi Tinubu as “a shining example of humility, service, and national unity,” adding that his influence goes beyond politics and business to inspiring moral leadership among young people.
Enwere said: “The one million Bible project is a gift to the body of Christ and a seed for moral transformation.
“Through this effort, we hope to restore integrity, compassion, and love for humanity among young Nigerians. Seyi Tinubu’s life has exemplified these virtues, and we believe this gesture will inspire others to live with purpose.”
The Thanksgiving service, which took place simultaneously at the National Ecumenical Centre and 40 other churches nationwide, featured prayers, worship, and messages of hope for the country.
Rev. Ini Ukpuho, chaplain of the National Christian Centre, led the service, offering prayers for Seyi Tinubu, his family, and the nation.
Clergymen from different denominations commended the gesture, describing it as timely amid the moral challenges confronting Nigerian youths.
Among those in attendance were Dayo Isreal, national youth leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC); Charles Odi, Director-General of SMEDAN; Solomon Omaivboje, former national secretary of YOWICAN; Emma Bawa, Seyi Tinubu’s protocol officer; and the FCT secretary of YOWICAN.
In a goodwill message read on his behalf, Seyi Tinubu thanked his friends and organisers for the honour, reaffirming his belief in faith and moral education as tools for transformation.
He said the Bible remains “a guide for responsible citizenship and leadership,” expressing hope that the project would inspire a new generation of morally upright Nigerians.
The event concluded with the symbolic dedication of the first batch of Bibles, which will be distributed to churches, schools, and youth ministries in the coming weeks.
