—-bags award
In a power-packed atmosphere brimming with worship, intercession, and purpose, Apostle Barr. S. B. Inyang, the Senior Special Assistant to the Governor on Christian Youth Matters, delivered a bold call to action: Christian youths in Akwa Ibom State must rally behind the preferred mandate and transformational leadership of His Excellency, Pastor Umo Eno.
The occasion was the grand finale of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) Region 49 Youth Convention held in Eket, a gathering that brought together a passionate multitude of Christian youths and leaders. There, Apostle Inyang was presented with the Outstanding Leadership Award, recognizing his steadfast commitment to youth development, civic engagement, and faith-inspired advocacy across the state.
Receiving the award as Guest of Honour, Apostle Inyang didn’t bask in personal glory. Instead, he offered a heartfelt tribute:
“This award is not mine alone. I dedicate it to His Excellency, Pastor Umo Eno, for granting me the opportunity to serve and for giving relevance to Christian youths across denominations through the creation of the Office of the SSA on Christian Youth Matters. His visionary leadership under the Arise Agenda has brought hope and transformation to our generation.”
The honour was conferred by Pastor Johnson Umoren, Regional Pastor of RCCG Region 49, who praised the SSA’s impactful work and pledged the Church’s alignment with the Governor’s youth-focused governance.
“We see the fruits of intentional youth empowerment. We commend the Governor’s leadership and pledge our support as a region,” Pastor Umoren affirmed.
With congregations rooted in Eket, Esit Eket, Onna, Oron, Ikot Abasi, Mkpat Enin, and beyond, RCCG Region 49’s public endorsement of the administration’s youth agenda marks a growing synergy between the altar and the government house, a rare blend of faith and governance shaping the future of Akwa Ibom.
The convention brimmed with divine energy: praise resounded, prayers for the state’s peace and progress ascended, and youth leaders across denominational lines stood in unity. Apostle Inyang seized the moment to enlighten attendees on ongoing state-sponsored initiatives targeting youth empowerment, mentorship, and leadership elevation.
“God has blessed Akwa Ibom with a man after His own heart. Pastor Umo Eno is not just a Governor—he is a prophetic shepherd. I call on all Christian youths: Arise! Engage! Partner with purpose! Follow this man led by God,” the SSA charged passionately.
This was more than an award ceremony. It was a moment of spiritual ignition, leadership awakening, and generational call-up. Christian youths are no longer spectators. They are rising, bolder, wiser, united, and committed to shaping a new Akwa Ibom under divine guidance and civic duty.
