The Nigerian Supreme Council for Ecclesiastical Affairs (NSCEA) has commended and officially recognised the Concerned Christian Youth Forum (CCYF) as a legitimate and vital force in the defence of the Christian faith.
The recognition was confirmed in an attestation letter signed by NSCEA Secretary, Bishop Professor Funmilayo Adesanya-Davies, dated 25 July 2025.
“It is with great pride that we stand in solidarity with you as you embark on this noble mission to protect our Faith, our Denominations and the future generations of our Christian youths,” the bishop stated.
According to the NSCEA, the decision followed extensive consultations with senior Christian leaders and the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN).
The Council noted that the CCYF has demonstrated unwavering commitment to preserving Christian values and fostering unity among the nation’s denominations.
“Let this day mark the dawn of a new era, where the indomitable spirit of our youths is unleashed in service of our common purpose in Christendom,” the statement added.
Speaking about the recognition and attestation, Paul James Adama, Convener of the CCYF, described the recognition as a “momentous milestone” and a testament to the strength and courage of Christian youths across the country.
“This monumental achievement is a reflection of our dedication to defending the Christian faith and protecting our spiritual leaders,” Adama said in a statement of appreciation.
He emphasised that while the recognition was a significant honour, the real victory lies in the Forum’s continued efforts to uphold Christian values in an ever-changing world.
“A thunderous congratulations to the Concerned Christian Youth Forum,” he said.
