Excitement Builds as CLIP Africa Hosts Biggest Worship Concert in Northeast

There’s something powerful about a city buzzing with excitement over one thing—worship.

That’s the scene unfolding in Yola, Adamawa State, where Connect Love Inspire Proclaim (CLIP Africa) is preparing to host what many are already calling the biggest gospel worship concert in Northeast Nigeria.

Locals say they haven’t seen this kind of spiritual build-up in years. Streets, churches, and even schools are abuzz with talk of the upcoming event at Upper Room Cathedral, where faith and music are set to collide in an unforgettable way.

Once known simply as the Step Up Concert, CLIP Africa’s annual worship gathering has now become a full-blown movement. It’s pulling worshippers from all over Nigeria straight into the heart of Yola—and no one wants to miss it.

This year marks the fifth edition, and it promises to be the most powerful yet. Gospel lovers can expect a star-studded lineup featuring some of Nigeria’s top ministers. Leading the pack is the famous Auta Zaki from Taraba State, whose voice has moved thousands. Alongside him will be Minister Kwabe from Mubi, Minister Abigail Ezekiel, and several others who are already household names among gospel fans.

At a press briefing ahead of the concert, Pastor Sam Kwada—the convener of CLIP Africa—shared the real heart behind the project. He described it as more than just music. To him, it’s a divine mission.

“This live concert has been consistently held in Yola for the past five years, and it has been truly life-transforming,” Pastor Kwada said passionately. “All ministers are prepared to usher in the glory of God as Yola awaits the biggest worship event in the Northeast.”

And people are ready.

Our reporters noticed that excitement is reaching fever pitch. Billboards are going up. Radio stations are buzzing. Church youth groups are rehearsing special dances. Even roadside sellers can be heard talking about “that big worship event coming soon.”

Behind the music and fanfare, there’s a deeper mission at work—raising and empowering anointed music ministers right here in the Northeast. In a region that has faced its share of hardship, events like this remind everyone that joy, healing, and unity are still very much possible.

Organizers promise an experience no one will forget: pure worship, deep inspiration, and a spiritual refreshing that will mark the city for years to come.

From the big names on stage to the everyday believers in the crowd, the goal is clear: encounter God, be inspired, and walk away changed.

And if the buzz across town is anything to go by, Yola is more than ready.
