Nigerian rising star and Chief Executive Officer, CEO of Jaytech Group of Companies, Amb. Christopher Ogar, also known as Jaymoni, is collaborating with the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ) Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Council to support and promote the Nigerian music and entertainment industry.
During his visit to the NUJ FCT Council in Abuja on Wednesday, Jaymoni was warmly welcomed by the council’s chairman, Comrade Grace Ike, and the council’s secretary, Comrade Jide Oyekunle.
The popular artist, known for his hit song “Congratulations,” took the opportunity to congratulate Comrade Ike on becoming the first female chairperson of the NUJ FCT Council in its 41 years of existence.
He said his visit aimed to connect with the media and explore ways to collaborate in supporting artists across the country.
Jaymoni, who co-owns the Wayward brand, also shared some exciting news with the council.
He said his second song of the year, “Where The Money Dey (WTMD),” will be released on all streaming platforms on Friday, April 11, 2025.
Additionally, he said his Feed The Street Programme is scheduled to take place in Lagos on the same day.
In response, Comrade Grace Ike expressed her admiration for Jaymoni’s music, his community-focused efforts, and his entrepreneurial drive.
She was enthusiastic about the partnership, noting that there are many ways the NUJ FCT could collaborate with the artist.
“I’m really happy to see such a young and talented artist like you. There’s a lot we can do together because we share a common energy. Music is life, and we, as journalists, understand the importance of platforms like yours. I truly believe you’re on the right path, and I want to encourage you to keep up the great work,” said Ike.
She also added, “You’re humble, and that’s important. Popularity can sometimes cause people to lose focus, but I see in you someone who is determined to change the narrative. Your music and efforts to give back to society are truly inspiring, and we at NUJ FCT are excited to partner with you in any way we can.”
Comrade Ike further highlighted the importance of collaboration and suggested future joint ventures, saying, “Let’s continue to find ways to work together, and if there’s anything we can do to support you or any initiatives you have, don’t hesitate to reach out.”
The partnership between Jaymoni and the NUJ FCT looks set to bring exciting opportunities for both the entertainment industry and the media community.
