Ahead of the 6th edition of Jumabee Inspires, the biggest event in the North Central Nigeria, international singer and song writer, Hon. Juwon Olorunipa, popularly known as Jumabee, has solicited the support of media professionals in Kogi State for the event.
He announced that the first Kogi Entertainment Summit will hold at AKK Hotels Lokoja with talks on how to boost music, fashion, event planning and movie industries in the state.
Jumabee, who is the Special Adviser on Art and Culture to the State Governor, maintained that the summit is aimed at raising the consciousness of the people on the need to embrace and invest in entertainment.
Addressing the journalists at the NUJ Press Centre on Monday in Lokoja, Hon. Juwon noted that activities lined up for the event will commence on Thursday 19th June 2025 with the album listening of his latest release, ‘Son of Margaret’, at Golden Royale Hotel Lokoja.
He explained that Jumabee Inspires Concert will hold on Saturday 21st June 2025 at the Children Amusement Park Lokoja at 7pm with over forty home based superstars performing live aside other international singers.
He stated further that Jumabee Inspires Concert is now attracting people from all walks of life and changing the narrative about the Confluence State, saying the state remains the best in the North Central.
The singer added that the concert, which began 6 years ago, was to use his birthday to add value to the state’s entertainment industry.
He pointed that while many students across the three senatorial districts will be given scholarship at the concert, about 150 youths will be trained on several skill acquisition programmes.
He had earlier paid a courtesy visit to the Chairman of the State Council of Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ), Alhaji Haruna Adamu, who endorsed the concert and commended him for projecting Kogi State to the world.
