In his word, Bolaji Rosiji of the Gauranga Foundation, the sponsors of the event said: ‘’the shocking transition of the world acclaimed ‘King of Pop’, Michael Joseph Jackson, has indeed created a void, not only in global music, but also in the area of genuine philanthropy the world over. He could have celebrated his 51st birthday on August 2009. All around the world, his teeming fans are gearing up for a global celebration of his genius and creativity. The Remembering Michael Jackson Charity Concert (RMJ) at the Tafawa Balewa Square is one of such events in honour of the late music icon and his birthday.’’ He said.
