Adex Artquake, the Throwback Concert's Project Director said the first of its kind event is in fulfillment of the Youth-oriented developmental agenda of Ooni Ogunwusi, using entertainment as a veritable tool in bringing the Nigerian youths together as a force too strong to be ignored in the affairs on the country.
"This is undoubtedly the most newsmaking king in Nigeria today who is well loved by the youths irrespective of ethnicity and religion.
In the last three years of his reign as the Ooni of Ife, His Majesty has tirelessly identified with the youths of Africa to whom he had dedicated his monarchy.
Throwback Concert is an entertainment initiative conceptualized to annually bring the youths together at Ile-Ife in fulfillment of Kabiyesi's Youth Development Agenda which he has been pursuing with vigour".
