I have passionate memories of Havana and will do all I can to help reposition Havana as the biggest musical event among youths in Nigeria,” he stated in a press release to R.

Shadare, who is optimistic of resurrecting Havana, on his part said: “Sigma Club has continued to be relevant. We will harness the strength of the club’s past and present individuals who are well positioned in the country, just as we will leverage on the 15 million members of the creative association, PMAN, and Nigerian youths, majority of whom are in higher institutions in the country. This is massive,” he told R.
