The Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) has announced plans for the second edition of its Mega Music Festival, tagged MMF 2.0, a large-scale worship gathering aimed at praying for national transformation while empowering young Nigerians through technology education.
Speaking at a press briefing in Lagos, the Special Assistant to the General Overseer on Youth Affairs, Pastor Sola Olukoya, said the event with the theme, “A New Season”, will hold on June 12, 2026, at the landmark Tafawa Balewa Square in Lagos.
According to him, the festival is designed to be a night of intense worship, prayer, thanksgiving, and prophetic declarations for Nigeria and Nigerians.
“This gathering is not just a music festival. It is a divine appointment where thousands of believers will come together to worship God and declare a new season over our lives, families, Lagos State, and Nigeria,” he said.
Olukoya explained that the programme is inspired by biblical accounts of victory through praise, citing the stories of Jehoshaphat in the Book of Chronicles and Paul and Silas in the Book of Acts. He noted that the church believes genuine praise can usher in restoration, peace, economic growth, and national development.
The RCCG youth leader said the choice of Tafawa Balewa Square was symbolic because it was the venue where Nigeria celebrated its independence in 1960.
“On Democracy Day, from this historic location, we will once again raise our voices before God and declare a new season for Nigeria’s economy, education, security, innovation, opportunities, and families,” he stated.
Preparing Youths For Digital Economy
A major highlight of the event will be the launch of the RCCG Young Adult and Youth Tech Fellowship, an initiative of RCCG Young Adults and Youth Affairs in partnership with Reach4Christ.
According to Olukoya, the programme is designed to train over 100,000 young people through a four-month practical technology fellowship focused on preparing participants for opportunities in the global digital economy.
The training areas include data analysis and visualisation, product development, cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, software development, digital innovation, and other emerging technology fields.
“We believe the new season Nigeria desires must include a generation of empowered, innovative, productive, and value-driven young people. Our goal is to equip youths spiritually, mentally, and professionally,” he said.
The festival will feature renowned gospel ministers including Nathaniel Bassey, Dunsin Oyekan, Yinka Alaseyori, Bidemi Olaoba, and Gospel Force.
The General Overseer of RCCG, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, is expected to pronounce the Father’s Blessing and make prophetic declarations over Nigeria during the gathering.
