Preparations have commenced at the headquarters of Copyright Society of Nigeria (COSON) for what should be the most spectacular benefit concert in the history of the Nigerian nation. The show is the Concert of Stars Against Cancer (COSAC) and is aimed at mobilizing the entire Nigerian nation to fight the cancer epidemic killing an estimated 240 Nigerians every day. Those taking active part in plotting the show include Efe Omorogbe, CEO of Now Muzik; singer Azeezat Allen and Chief Samuel Alabi, President, Hotel & Personal Services Employers Association (HOPESEA) whose organization has already donated the use of the magnificent Expo Hall of Eko Hotel & Suites for the show. It will be recalled that all the aforementioned were present at the recent flag off of the Big War Against Cancer meeting which took place at Airport Hotel, Lagos. The concert holds on Saturday, March 29 and will parade a galaxy of the nation’s brightest stars, Nigeria’s corporate titans and the biggest brands in the land, according to the chairman, Chief Tony Okoroji. The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC), meanwhile, has created a unique short code for those who want to contribute to this effort. By texting “CANCER” or any other chosen word to ”44777”, a person can contribute N100/sms towards this cause. Interswitch Limited has also established a code – “777526” – for donations via ATM or online at www.quickteller.com.
