Juju maestro, Evangelist Ebenezer Obey-Fabiyi, during the week clocked 76 on April 3. Instead of throwing a bash, the music legend used the event to impact lives and give back to society, especially the younger generation.

Obey-Fabiyi said despite the expectation to paint the town red with another classy event to mark his birthday this year, he had concluded plans to launch an initiative aimed at empowering youths, including talented young musicians.

According to the music icon, the desire to institute the Ebenezer Obey Music Foundation (EOMF) was a dream come true, adding: “It is my joy that this dream has become a reality.

I shared this burning vision and commitment to give back to society through the youth employment initiative in music and skill acquisition to the teeming youths at my 75th birthday last year.

“I thank God for the success of the initiative through the support of well-meaning Nigerians. Though it was not easy, we are glad that the dream has come to pass.”
