Speaking with journalists in Ile-Ife last week, the project director, Mr Ayo George, said “Ile-Ife is definitely the place to be this Easter. The city is blessed and we have a new king whose passion for youth development is incredible.

“The event is the first of its kind in the city and it would be showcasing music, culture and the rich traditional heritage of the city. Its fresh and the prospect for support even at this stage is overwhelming. For all of us, it’s a coronation concert of some sort,” he told reporters.

15 musicians and Ife budding talents are expected to perform at the maiden edition of the event scheduled to hold during Easter.

The organisers are presently rounding off partnership talks with a financial institution, two sports-betting companies and some other brands that have an eye for youth development. “Both old and young people have bought into the event and we are  going to, musically and culturally, shut down the city with the support of relevant stakeholders,” he added.
