Makurdi, the capital of Benue State, came alive on Saturday as it played host to Star Music Trek phase 2. The event, which held at the IBB Square in the city, was headlined by Afro pop star, Tuface Idibia, who performed alongside acts such as MI, Faze, Yemi Alade, Kcee and Runtown. Gbenga Adeyinka was the MC with Tony Blaze and DJ Neptune on the wheels of steel.
Commenting on the show, Tuface said: “This is where it all began for me so obviously it’s a highly emotional experience. It’s like a homecoming and I’m thrilled to have this opportunity to perform for my people at home.”
On his part, Edem Vindah, Corporate Media & Brand PR Manager, NB Plc, said: “Star lager is committed to providing a platform to inspire Nigerian youths wherever they may be, and this was another instance. We are particularly excited to present Tuface to his hometown crowd in Benue State, for inspiration to the youths.”
Organised by Nigerian Breweries, Star Trek has thrilled music fans for nearly two decades, using the potent vehicle of music to pass across positive social messages to young people. This year’s theme, My Superstar Story inspires the youth to view their situations as a work in progress and to always keep their goals in mind.
After a hugely successful first phase which passed through Calabar, Abakaliki and Awka, the fun train moves to Sapele on August 8, Auchi on August 15, Ibadan on August 22, and finally Lagos on August 29.
