Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo‑Olu praised the Mountain Top Chorale of the Mountain of Fire and Miracles (MFM) church after the group secured two gold medals at the World Choir Games.
The governor’s commendation highlighted the choir’s dedication and the significance of their achievement on an international stage. The World Choir Games, often described as the “Olympics of choral music,” draws ensembles from dozens of countries to compete in a range of categories.
Sanwo‑Olu’s remarks underscored Lagos State’s support for the arts and cultural excellence, though his office did not specify the exact categories in which the MFM chorale earned the gold medals.
The triumph adds to Nigeria’s growing reputation in global music competitions and is expected to inspire other local choirs and musical groups. MFM, a prominent Pentecostal denomination with a wide following in Nigeria and abroad, has long promoted music as part of its worship and outreach.
Further details about the performances and the specific events in which the chorale won remain unavailable at this time.
