The election took place during the maiden national meeting of the bloc, held at the TEKAN Headquarters in Jos. The three-day inaugural gathering, convened under the inspiring theme “Strength in Unity: In a Time Like This,” attracted youth leaders and representatives from TEKAN and ECWA churches across Nigeria.

Delegates at the meeting expressed strong confidence in Dr. John’s leadership capabilities, academic excellence, and unwavering dedication to youth development.

His emergence is widely regarded as a strategic and timely step toward enhancing youth participation, strengthening organisational structures, and advancing the bloc’s core vision of unity, vibrant Christian witness, and meaningful national transformation.

In his acceptance remarks, Dr. Godfrey John gave thanks to God for the opportunity to serve in this capacity.

He pledged to collaborate closely with the bloc’s leadership to promote greater unity, ensure effective administration, and roll out impactful programmes that will advance the objectives of the TEKAN–ECWA Bloc Youth Wing.

The historic meeting was hosted by the National TEKAN–ECWA Bloc Youth Leader, Eld. Amb. Bako Adashu Elijah, and led by the National TEKAN–ECWA Bloc Leader, Archbishop Musa Panti Filibus, PhD.

Participants described the successful election and conclusion of the meeting as the beginning of a new and promising chapter in the life of the youth wing.

It is expected to foster stronger cooperation, purposeful engagement, and renewed commitment among Christian youths within the TEKAN–ECWA family nationwide.

TEKAN, the Fellowship of Churches of Christ in Nigeria, remains one of the major blocs within CAN, representing a significant constituency of Christian denominations, particularly in northern Nigeria.

The emergence of Dr. John is seen as a boost to youth mobilisation and leadership development within this important platform.
