A Clarion Call to Abuja and Beyond

Students from every corner of Abuja, Nassarawa, Niger, and beyond—heed this summons! Whether you’re at the bustling junctions of Wuse Market, Garki’s vibrant Area 1, or the lively streets of Nyanya, this is your moment to step out. From Kubwa’s energetic hubs to Maitama’s upscale avenues, from Jabi’s scenic crossroads to Apo’s thriving communities—pack your bags, rally your friends, and make your way to the National Stadium Main Bowl.

For those in Nassarawa, don’t let the distance from Mararaba or Keffi hold you back—the road to destiny is calling. Students in Niger, from the popular Suleja junction to the historic lanes of Minna, this is your opportunity to join a continental awakening. Wherever you are—Kuje, Gwagwalada, or Lugbe—shed excuses and seize this chance to be counted among Africa’s trailblazers.

This isn’t just another event; it’s a defining moment. Over three power-packed days, from March 21 to 23, expect soul-stirring worship, life-changing teachings, and an atmosphere charged with possibility. The theme, Upward and Forward Only, is a battle cry for every student who refuses to settle, who dares to dream bigger, and who believes Africa’s best days lie ahead. Pastor Chris will bring a message tailored for this generation—your generation—empowering you to break barriers and build legacies.

This is a higher life conference for African students to unite in purpose and power. I urge every one of you, from Abuja’s campuses to the farthest reaches of our continent, to grace these three days with your presence. Together, with Pastor Chris, we will rise upward and move forward—only!”
