Millions of Nigerians of all denominations across the country, will be mobilized to join in songs, prayers and worship on May 25, to lift the spirit of a nation whose citizens have in recent years wrestled with significant economic, security and developmental challenges that have left many depressed and desperate.
.
On that day, 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.

The event of May 25, tagged “COSON in the Church” will be the first of the seven superlative events of the much-advertised master-blaster “COSON Week 2025”, spearheaded by members of Copyright Society of Nigeria (COSON), Nigeria’s biggest copyright collective management organization, with every event propelled by the mantra, “NIGERIA WILL RISE AGAIN!”

The auditorium of a church in Lagos, the nation’s commercial and entertainment capital, which will be the epicenter of the National Day of Prayer from which the event will be beamed across the country and the world, will be announced in the coming weeks. The church will play host to Nigeria’s most captivating gospel singers and the nation’s most respected ministers of the gospel from different denominations, who, in a world class production, will lead the songs and prayer points for the revival of the nation, on a very special day.
Churches and other groups around Nigeria, will be requested to organize special sessions for their members to link up and participate, and those who cannot participate in groups, can sing and pray along, from home.

Speaking on the upcoming events, the Chairman of COSON, Chief Tony Okoroji, the well-known master organizer of unforgettable events, said: “It is our strong belief that Nigerian entertainers from every tribe, with our millions of fans, have a key role to play in stabilizing the nation and healing the wounds that have threatened our unity and development, and to give optimism and courage to our people, at a time of severe national challenges. We believe that the task of rekindling the vigor and energy necessary for a greater Nigeria, should be all encompassing and not left to elected officials alone and that just complaining, is no longer, good enough.
.
“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.
.
“Our mantra for COSON Week 2025 is: “NIGERIA WILL RISE AGAIN!”
“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 events of “COSON Week 2025” will be broadcast and streamed on several channels within the country and across the globe”.

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!”.
