The Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) Young Adults and Youth Affairs (YAYA) has announced, at a press conference in Lagos, the second edition of its Mega Music Festival (MMF 2.0).
Themed ‘A New Season’, the festival is scheduled for June 12 at the Tafawa Balewa Square, Lagos, in what is tagged ‘A night of praise, worship, and prayers’.
The General Overseer (GO) of RCCG, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, is expected to minister at the event. Other expected ministers include Pastor Johnson Odesola and Pastor J. T. Kalejaiye.
Gospel ministers, including Nathaniel Bassey, Duers Oyekan, Yinka Alaseyori and Bidemi Olaoba, are expected to feature as well.
The special assistant to the general overseer (Youth Affairs) of RCCG, Pastor Sola Olukoya, disclosed that transportation would be provided for people in Lagos and Ogun states, adding that adequate security, traffic management, and medical services would also be arranged.
Pastor Olukoya described the gathering as a divine appointment designed to bring believers together in prayers, worship, prophetic declarations, and thanksgiving to God.
‘We are gathering thousands of believers from across Nigeria and beyond to lift one sound of worship before God and declare the beginning of a new season over our lives, our families, Lagos State and Nigeria as a nation,’ he said.
Pastor Olukoya stated that the theme was inspired by biblical accounts demonstrating the power of praise and worship in bringing divine intervention, citing the stories of King Jehoshaphat and Paul and Silas.
The pastor noted that the church believes that Nigeria is entering a season of restoration, economic recovery, security, innovation, and national transformation, which he said is worth celebrating with faith.
Beyond worship, the event will also serve as the launch platform for the RCCG Young Adult and Youth Tech Fellowship, an initiative of RCCG Young Adults and Youth Affairs in collaboration with Reach4Christ.
Olukoya disclosed that the fellowship aims to equip more than 100,000 young people with practical digital and technology skills through a four-month intensive training programme.
According to him, participants will receive training in data analysis and visualisation, product development, cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, software development, digital innovation, and other emerging technology fields.
‘The future belongs to those who are prepared. Our mission is to equip young people spiritually, mentally, and professionally, enabling them to access global opportunities, build enterprises and contribute meaningfully to national development,’ he said.
