The traditional ruler of Gwandu, Alhaji Muhammadu IIiyasu Bashar, has honored Seyi Tinubu with a special title called Dan Zaki Gwandu
Seyi Tinubu is the leader and main supporter of the City Boy Movement.
The title was conferred at the Abdullahi Fodiyo Palace in Birnin Kebbi, shortly after he visited Kebbi State Government House, where Governor Nasir Idris received him.
The Emir said it was the first title of its kind in the Gwandu Emirate's history.
He said it honoured President Tinubu's record and his commitment to youth.
The title means "Son of the Lion of Gwandu," which he said stands for courage, strength and leadership.
He also prayed for the movement's success and urged young people to stay united.
Seyi Tinubu said the honour is a call to serve Kebbi and Nigeria.
He also pledged that the movement would work with traditional rulers to promote peace and youth development, and backed Governor Idris's development efforts.
Separately, the City Boy Movement gave cash grants to more than 2,000 small business owners at a market in Birnin Kebbi.
Seyi Tinubu said the money is aimed at petty traders, women and young entrepreneurs, and that the movement will keep working with the state government on more empowerment programmes.
