The Oyo State Government has commenced the distribution of thousands of free tickets to young people across the state ahead of Afrobeats star Davido’s ‘5ive Tour’ concert in Ibadan.

The concert, scheduled to take place at the historic Obafemi Awolowo Stadium, forms part of the artist’s national tour aimed at celebrating Nigerian youth and promoting music-driven community engagement.
