Ex-CDS Musa, Paul Enenche, Dame Comfort, SGF Akume Among Honourees at CAN FCT Award Ceremony
By: Fabian Apechihin
The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) chapter of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) on Thursday hosted a public lecture and award ceremony to recognise distinguished Nigerians for their exceptional service to God, the Church, and humanity.
Among the recipients were the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Senator George Akume; the immediate past Chief of Defence Staff, General Christopher Musa (rtd); the Senior Pastor of Dunamis International Gospel Centre, Dr Paul Enenche; Dame Barrister Comfort Chigbue, National Director of Legal and Public Affairs, CAN; and Mr Oronsaye Osagiede. Several lawmakers and Christian leaders were also honoured.
Themed “The Response of the Church to the Menace of Insecurity in the Country,” the event also featured the unveiling of plans for a proposed CAN FCT Secretariat, envisioned as a hub for unity, leadership development, and policy engagement within the Christian community.
In his keynote address, Rev. Timothy Amakom, FCT CAN Chairman, described the event as both a celebration of selfless service and a call to nation-building.
“Today is no ordinary day. We are here not only to celebrate men and women whose lights have shone brightly in service to God and humanity, but also to take a bold step of faith to lay the foundation for a lasting legacy — our Secretariat, a home for vision, coordination, and impact for the Body of Christ,” he said.
He noted that the proposed Secretariat would provide a centre for leadership training, advocacy, and inter-denominational collaboration, while also serving as a platform for shaping national policies through research, dialogue, and prayer.
“Imagine a place where Christian leaders can gather to plan national interventions, where young believers are mentored in faith and leadership, and where research, advocacy, and prayer merge to influence policies and culture. That is the Secretariat we envision — a lighthouse for truth, unity, and transformation,” Rev. Amakom added.
He urged Christians to support the project financially, likening the effort to Nehemiah’s rebuilding of Jerusalem’s walls.
Speaking on behalf of the awardees, Dr Paul Enenche delivered an inspiring message focused on living purposefully and making eternal impact. He outlined five key principles for believers: maintaining a strong relationship with God, fulfilling divine purpose, maximizing potential, influencing generations, and living with eternity in view.
“It doesn’t matter what we do with our lives; if our relationship with God is not in order, life is a waste. Making a difference is superior to making a living; making an impact is superior to making income,” he said.
Dr Enenche also cautioned that earthly recognition must never replace divine approval, stressing that true success lies in aligning with God’s purpose.
“As we are being appreciated on this earth, may we also receive the same appreciation before our Maker,” he concluded.
The ceremony drew attendance from senior government officials, religious leaders, captains of industry, and representatives from across the Christian community in the FCT.
