In a statement, Innocent Idibia said the idea of the e-concert is for him to lend his voice and call on Nigerians to come together to combat this global pandemic by heeding to the stay-at-home directive from the government so that the spread of the virus can be reduced to its barest minimum.

“We have decided to support Tuface in this quest because as a brand, we acknowledge the importance of this initiative; hence we are fully behind it,” said Bamise Oyegbami, marketing manager of Trophy said in a statement.
Oyegbami said a healthy population is key for any nation’s growth and development and with COVID 19 threatening to disrupt the lives of the citizenry, all hands must be on deck to do whatever is possible to ensure it is curtailed.
‘’We are not in business just for profit, our ecosystem is very key to us based on our purpose of bringing people together for a better world. This can only be attained if necessary support is given to people and society whenever it is needed, which is what we want to achieve with this e-concert.”
‘’We realised that with everywhere being on lock-down and people told to stay home to stop the spread of COVID 19, we can make the stay at home more optimistic for consumers at home by supporting our African music legend, Tuface with a live e-concert.”

This is an avenue to encourage as many persons to participate and be a part of the cause.
