President Bola Tinubu has congratulated teenage Nigerian artist Kanyeyachukwu Tagbo-Okeke for his remarkable achievement in setting a new Guinness World Record by creating the world’s largest art canvas, spanning an astonishing 12,303.87 square metres.
In a message shared on his official X account, President Tinubu praised the young artist for his determination and artistic brilliance, noting that Kanyeyachukwu had demonstrated exceptional courage and creativity. He highlighted the young talent’s inspirational message of challenging limits, quoting Kanyeyachukwu’s declaration that “impossibility is a myth” and commending him for proving that anything can be achieved through resilience and tenacity.
“You are brave, audacious, and tenacious,” the President wrote, celebrating the teenager’s historic feat. He noted that Kanyeyachukwu’s work not only earned him global recognition but also brought immense pride to Nigeria by showcasing the nation’s creative strength on an international platform.
Kanyeyachukwu, widely recognised for his advocacy for children with autism and his vibrant visual art, has consistently used his work to promote inclusion and self-expression among young people. His latest record-breaking achievement further cements his status as a beacon of hope and innovation for Nigeria’s youth.
President Tinubu’s tribute underscored the importance of his accomplishment, describing it as a powerful symbol of the limitless potential Nigerian youths possess to make significant contributions to the world in arts and beyond.
