Themed, Africa Sings 8, the highly charged atmosphere saw a lot of songs, mostly indigenous, performed. Largely infused with drama interlude to drive home the intended messages, the intercollegiate choral festival held in an atmosphere charged with excitement. Organised by the Department of Creative Arts, University of Lagos, the musical concert featured chorales from the University of Lagos, University of Port Harcourt, University of Ibadan, Mountain Top University and the Lagos State University. Olukoya, who has in his repertoire, over 70 songs so far, composed most of the songs performed, being his modest contribution to an industry he is passionate about. A mass choir of the participating universities, directed by Oikelome, drew the curtain with a magnificent performance of the Hallelujah Chorus.
