The Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) has inaugurated its Young Adult and Youth Tech Fellowship, an initiative designed to empower over 100,000 young adults and youth through an intensive four-month practical, hands-on technology training programme.
The initiative was unveiled during the recent Mega Music Festival (MMF 2.0) held on Friday June 12, at the Tafawa Balewa Square (TBS), Lagos, with the theme: ‘A New Season’, and organised by RCCG Young Adults and Youth Affairs (Yaya).
According to the RCCG, the 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.
Sola Olukoya, the Special Assistant to the General Overseer (Youth Affairs), RCCG, stated that the church is gathering believers across Nigeria and beyond to lift one sound of worship before God and declare the beginning of a new season over 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.”

“We understand that the world is changing rapidly, and the future belongs to those who are prepared,” Olukoya stated.
He also disclosed that the initiative will empower about 100,000 young adults with digital skills to access global workforce opportunities.
According to him, the Church’s mission is to equip young people spiritually, mentally, and professionally, by providing tools required to access global workforce opportunities, create solutions, build enterprises, and contribute meaningfully to national development.
