The Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) Young Adults and Youth Affairs (YAYA) has unveiled plans for the second edition of its Mega Music Festival (MMF 2.0). This large-scale worship gathering aims to pray for national transformation while empowering young Nigerians through technology education.
Event Details
Speaking at a news conference in Lagos, the Special Assistant to the General Overseer on Youth Affairs, Pastor Sola Olukoya, stated that the event will take place on June 12, 2026, at the historic Tafawa Balewa Square in Lagos. The theme for this year's festival is “A New Season.”
According to Pastor Olukoya, the festival is designed to be a night of intense worship, prayer, thanksgiving, and prophetic declarations for Nigeria and its people. He explained that the programme draws inspiration from 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. The church believes that genuine praise can usher in restoration, peace, economic growth, and national development.
The choice of Tafawa Balewa Square is symbolic, as it was the venue where Nigeria marked its independence in 1960.
Tech Fellowship Launch
A major highlight of the event will be the launch of the RCCG Young Adults and Youth Tech Fellowship. This initiative, a partnership between RCCG Young Adults and Youth Affairs and Reach4Christ, aims to train over 100,000 young people through a four-month practical technology fellowship. The programme focuses on preparing participants for opportunities in the global digital economy.
Training areas include data analysis and visualization, product development, cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, software development, digital innovation, and other emerging technology fields.
Featured Ministers and Leaders
The festival will feature renowned gospel ministers, including Nathaniel Bassey, Dunsin Oyekan, Yinka Alaseyori, Bidemi Olaoba, Gospel Force, and other worship leaders. Senior ministers expected to lead prayers and prophetic declarations include Pastor J. F. Odesola and Pastor J. T. Kalejaiye. 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.
Preparations and Logistics
Organizers say preparations are already at an advanced stage, with more than 5,000 volunteers mobilized across departments, including security, ushering, logistics, medical support, sanitation, protocol, and prayer. They have also announced plans to provide free transportation from designated locations across Lagos and Ogun states. Participants are assured of adequate security, crowd management, traffic control, and medical services.
Pastor Olukoya called on Nigerians from all walks of life to participate in the event, describing the festival as “an altar of praise, a sound of hope, and a movement of transformation.” The Mega Music Festival 2.0 is expected to attract thousands of worshippers from across Nigeria and beyond.
