“You know I have always advocated that our youths must be actively engaged because idle hands are usually devils’ workshops. We need to dissuade our youths from drugs and other bad vices and the only way to achieve this, is for them to be engaged with something tangible with which they can develop themselves,” Ajadi said.

The CEO also expressed profound gratitude for the overwhelming support from music enthusiasts for GyC.

He noted that the support is proof that people believe in the potential of GyC to attain global recognition under the label’s guidance.
