There will be musical interludes to bridge the secular and spiritual sessions and these will feature some of the best Celestial choirs.

“Highlights of the Convention include free breakfast for everybody from 8.00-9.00am, surprise value gifts for those who register online as well as the lucky ones among the 3000 participants.

“There is a professional giveaway for everyone who submits their typed CVs at the venue. Professional HR Assessors will evaluate their employability and once found eligible, they will be recommended for job interviews for some of Nigeria’s most lucrative job vacancies.

“We are inviting all Celestians who are Nollywood and music celebrities and some of them have been selected for special interactive sessions where participants can take selfies with the stars as well as ask them trending questions.”
