Elder Offiong noted that "the youths enjoyed their time, being away from their parents in a safe, well-supervised environment with counselors, coordinators, and session directing couples ensuring their wellbeing and engagement."

He emphasized that the content of this year's conference was uniquely developed with input from the youth themselves, focusing on inspiring deeper faith in Jesus Christ and strengthening their testimonies.

They expressed gratitude to the Federal Government Girls College for hosting the event and supporting its security needs. The Ezamas described the conference as a memorable and impactful gathering that nurtured the future leaders of the church through gospel teachings and meaningful youth interactions.

They added that with about 147 counselors, coordinators, and administrators facilitating the event, FSY 2025 conference successfully reinforced spiritual growth, fellowship, and practical preparedness among the youth, leaving them with lasting memories and strengthened faith for the future.
