Lagos: The Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) has reiterated its commitment to youth empowerment, as it plans to equip no fewer than 100,000 young adults with skills to access global workforce opportunities. Mr. Sola Olukoya, a Pastor and the Special Assistant to the General Overseer (Youth Affairs), RCCG, made this known at a news briefing in Lagos.
According to News Agency of Nigeria, Olukoya, on behalf of the General Overseer of RCCG, Enoch Adebayo, stated that the empowerment initiative would be unveiled during the Mega Music Festival (MMF 2.0) organized by RCCG Young Adults and Youth Affairs (Yaya). The festival is scheduled for Friday, June 12, 2026, at the Tafawa Balewa Square in Lagos, under the theme ‘A New Season’.
Olukoya explained that the church would inaugurate the RCCG Young Adult and Youth Tech Fellowship at the festival. This initiative is designed to empower over 100,000 young adults and youths through an intensive four-month practical, hands-on technology training program.
‘Mega Music Festival 2.0 is not only about declaring a new season; it is also about preparing a generation to participate in that new season,’ he stated. The RCCG Young Adult and Youth Tech Fellowship, an initiative of RCCG Young Adults and Youth Affairs in conjunction with Reach4Christ, aims to provide world-class digital skills training, mentorship, and capacity development in areas such as Data Analysis and Visualization, Product Development, Cybersecurity, Artificial Intelligence, and emerging technologies.
He further explained that the mission is to equip young people spiritually, mentally, and professionally, providing them with the necessary tools to access global workforce opportunities, create solutions, build enterprises, and contribute meaningfully to national development.
According to him, the church is gathering thousands of believers from across Nigeria and beyond to worship and declare the beginning of a new season over their lives, families, Lagos State, and Nigeria. ‘We believe that as Nigeria raises an altar of praise, every chain of limitation will be broken, and God will open new doors over our nation,’ he said.
The event will feature spirit-filled worship leaders, including Minister Mercy Chinwo, Gospel Force, and many others, leading attendees into an atmosphere of praise. Additionally, there will be powerful moments of prayers and prophetic declarations led by anointed servants of God, including Pastor J. F. Odesola and other senior ministers. The Father’s Blessing and prophetic declaration over Nigeria will be pronounced by the General Overseer, RCCG, Pastor Enoch Adeboye.
