2Baba Meets Defence Minister To Discuss ‘Using Music To Tackle Youth Violence’

Innocent Idibia, the Nigerian artiste better known as 2Baba, recently paid a visit to Chris Musa, the minister of defence, to present a new youth-focused initiative.

The visit, announced via an Instagram post on Saturday, centered on a “culture-driven” programme designed to use music as a tool for youth reorientation and social change.

According to the singer, he and his strategic team briefed the minister on the initiative’s goal of countering violent narratives among young Nigerians by promoting positive values through entertainment.

“I had the honour of meeting with Nigeria’s Honourable Minister of Defence, General CG Musa, alongside my strategic team to explore how music can help counter violent narratives among young Nigerians,” he wrote.

“During the meeting, I unveiled a culture-driven initiative that uses music as a tool for youth reorientation, promoting positive values and transforming entertainment into a force for social impact.”

He emphasized that the project aims to spark dialogue, empower creative talent, and redirect the energy of Nigeria’s massive youth population toward nation-building.

“With over 150 million young people in Nigeria and many vulnerable to negative influences, initiatives like this are important to spark meaningful conversations, empower creative talent, and channel youth energy toward nation-building,” he added.

While details about the initiative’s operational status and official name were not disclosed, the singer’s engagement reflects his ongoing commitment to youth advocacy.

In 2017, he launched the ‘Vote Not Fight’ campaign in partnership with the Youngstars Foundation and the National Democratic Institute.
