The Copyright Society of Nigeria (COSON) has disclosed plans to host “COSON Green Ball”, to celebrate 150 most influential Nigerians for their spirit of resilience.

Chief Tony Okoroji, Chairman of COSON, in a statement, on Thursday , said the event is aimed to promote national unity and development.

“One hundred and fifty of the most influential people in Africa’s most populous nation, Nigeria, and their spouses, will on Friday, May 30th, be treated to the best entertainment anywhere in the world.

“This is as COSON rolls out the green carpet to celebrate Nigeria, at the super-exclusive ‘COSON Green Ball’.

“The Green Ball event will have in attendance selected governors, ministers, senators and other significant office holders.

“There will also be frontline Nigerian entrepreneurs and remarkable businessmen as well as distinguished professionals, intellectuals and the nation’s top showbiz stars.

“Sir Shina Peters, our Afro-Juju superstar will be one of the top performers for the event.”

According to him, the programme is also one of the events to commemorate the 2025 COSON Week which will have its theme as “Nigeria Will Rise Again”.

He said: “It is our strong belief that Nigerian entertainers from every tribe, with our millions of fans, have a key role to play in stabilising the nation and healing the wounds that threaten our unity and development.

“We have a duty to give optimism and courage to our people, at a time of severe national challenges which have left many depressed.

“We are determined to show that despite our challenges, we will move ahead and build a nation where every child has the promise of a future.

“It is to meet this important national objective, that we have designed different events for COSON Week 2025, to reach out to different strata of the Nigerian society, with our mantra, “NIGERIA WILL RISE AGAIN”.
