BREAKING! THE 2025 “COSON IN THE CHURCH” WILL BE BEAMED TO NIGERIANS IN GRAND STYLE FROM THE BEAUTIFUL “CHAPEL OF CHRIST THE LIGHT” IN IKEJA ON MAY 25

Chief Tony Okoroji, Chairman, Copyright Society of Nigeria (COSON), Nigeria’s biggest copyright collective management organization, has announced that “COSON in the Church”, the first of the seven mega events of the much-advertised COSON Week 2025, will be hosted by the beautiful inter-denominational Chapel of Christ the Light, located in the Central Business District of Ikeja, near the Lagos State Secretariat, on Sunday, May 25.

.

Making the announcement in a video call to the management of COSON, Chief Okoroji expressed profound joy that the very important opening event of COSON Week 2025 will be held at a venue open to all Nigerian Christians of every denomination. Said Chief Okoroji, “I can assure everyone that the Presiding Chaplain at Chapel of Christ the Light, Rev Dr. Oladele Ajayi, is very excited that his church which does not belong to any sect, will be the epicenter of the National Day of Prayer from which the songs and praise of Nigeria’s topmost gospel singers and ministers of the gospel, will be beamed across the country and the world. We have had extensive discussions and we are both committed to doing whatever it takes to meet the expectations of Nigerians”

For several months, the social media has been flooded with different types of promotional materials telling everyone that millions of Nigerians of all denominations will join in songs, prayers and worship on May 25 to lift the spirit of the nation whose citizens have in recent years wrestled with significant economic, security and developmental challenges that have left many depressed and desperate.

.
Nigerians have also been told that on May 25, citizens, in towns and villages across Nigeria, will be linked by an unprecedented mix of simultaneous broadcast, streaming and videocasting, deploying various communication technologies, so that in one voice, Nigerians, wherever they are, can join in supplication, to seek the face of the Almighty, to give the Nigerian nation a new lease of life, and restore optimism to Nigeria’s children.

.

There have also been several advertising materials asking Nigerians to save the May 25 date.
Sunday, the 25th of May, is expected to usher in the much-advertised “COSON Week 2025” with the opening event being the now popular “COSON in the Church”. COSON Week, is of course, spearheaded by members of Copyright Society of Nigeria (COSON), across Nigeria. The mantra for “COSON Week 2025” is “NIGERIA WILL RISE AGAIN!”

.

The question had been asked by many: “Which venue will host “COSON in in the Church” on May 25?” That question has now been answered by this announcement of the hosting by “Chapel of Christ the Light” which is owned by the Lagos State Government.

.

It will be recalled that the past “COSON in the Church” with its distinct red-carpet opening ceremonies, featuring Nigeria’s most renowned gospel singers and gospel ministers, had been successfully hosted by Chris Okotie’s Household of God Church, Matthew Ashimolowo’s KICC Prayer Dome, Pastor Ituah Ighodalo’s Trinity House and Anselm Madubuko’s Revival Assembly.

.

Said Chief Tony Okoroji, the former President of PMAN who is very well known for organizing unforgettable events: “The 2025 “COSON in the Church” is planned to be distinct, different and special. Because of the mood of the nation, it is our desire that millions of Nigerians across the nation and across the world will freely join in singing the same songs at the same time and saying “amen” to the same prayers. I do not know of any patriotic Nigerian who does not want a better country. With good mobilization and modern technology, I believe that we will achieve our goal. I therefore invite Nigeria’s Catholics, Anglicans, Methodists, Baptists, Presbyterians and Pentecostals of all shades to join us on May 25 to pray for peace and progress in our nation, the way we have never done before. Believe me; Nigeria will rise again!”.

“We are determined to show that despite our challenges, we will move ahead and build a nation where every child has the promise of a future.

.

“To meet this important national objective, COSON, with thousands of members across Nigeria, is rallying its members to storm Lagos, the nation’s undisputed entertainment capital, with seven explosive and exciting back–to–back events, titled “COSON Week 2025”, holding at seven key venues across Lagos from May 25 to May 31, 2025.

“As we are aware, COSON has as members most of the foremost music stars across Nigeria with millions of fans transversing all age brackets. We can say without apologies that no other organization in Nigeria has the capacity or expertise to match COSON with respect to the promotion and presentation of a kaleidoscope of exciting music anchored events.

.

“Available to COSON are the nation’s most experienced, tried and tested producers of exquisite events who are being positioned to ensure that every event of the “COSON Week 2025” is organized to world class standards.

The celebrated former president of PMAN, went on to state: “I want to emphasize that are we non-political and non-sectional. We are simply concerned Nigerians from every tribe and region of the country who wish our country well and are deploying our skills for a better Nigeria. For instance, I have never belonged to any political party and have no plans to.

.

“We are currently mobilizing all ‘mobilizables’ for the significant talents and resources necessary to bring the huge events to fruition. We are appealing to all Nigerians, individuals and institutions who can give us any assistance or support, to please do so. Nigeria will rise again!”.
