CIG Endorses COSON Week; To Partner COSON For Successful Events
COSON Week, the epoch-making set of events that will bring creative minds across the country together for a week of unprecedented music driven activities in May 2025, has received the endorsement of the Creative Industry Group headed by Ambassador Felix Duke.
.
COSON, in a letter signed by its erudite Chairman, Chief Tony Okoroji, sought the collaboration of CIG, in the week-long set events to make COSON Week a huge success. The week will also be used to solicit for funds to bring to fruition, the COSON Music Foundation which will cater for elderly and sick musicians.
.
Chief Okoroji noted that the first event of the COSON Week will be “COSON In the Church”, a National Day of Prayer, which will take place at Chapel of Christ the Light, Alausa, Ikeja, on the 25th of May.
.
In his words: “During the service, citizens in towns and villages across Nigeria, will be linked by an unprecedented mix of simultaneous broadcast, streaming and videocasting, deploying various communication technologies, on a National Day of Prayer, as in one voice, Nigerians in supplication, seek the face of the Almighty, to give the Nigerian nation a new lease of life, and optimism for Nigeria’s children”.
.
“COSON in the Church”, spear-headed by creative artistes across Nigeria, will feature Nigeria’s most admired gospel artistes from different denominations. The nightingales will be joined by some of Nigeria’s most respected ministers of the gospel, who will offer prayers for peace and progress in Nigeria”.
Chief Tony Okoroji noted that the essence of the one-week music fiesta with the theme, Nigeria will rise again, is because of COSON’s strong belief that Nigerian entertainers from every tribe, with their millions of fans have a key role to play in stabilizing the nation and healing the wounds that tend to threaten the unity and development of the country.
.
The COSON letter further read, “In recognition of the important role that CIG is playing in promoting creativity in our country, we hereby request your support of “COSON in the Church” and all other programs of COSON Week 25. It’s our hope that you will publicly identify with COSON Week 2025 and that you will nominate persons that will participate in the different events”.
.
Accepting the offer, CIG National President, Ambassador Felix Duke, promised that the group will fully participate in the COSON Week and give every support necessary to make it a success.
.
He also called on other creative minds to join hands with COSON to make the events memorable.
