To lead the walk is the Executive Governor of Lagos State, Babatunde Raji Fashola. He will be accompanied by the erstwhile Governor of the state, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the former president of Zambia, Kenneth Kaunda who also lost one of his sons to HIV/AIDS. Others to lead the walk are the popular founder of the wave-making Lagos church, Pastor Ituah Ighodalo of the Trinity House.

The concert will afford the artistes an opportunity to speak on the need for people, especially the youths, to live a safe and healthy life with regards to their sexuality. At the concert, free HIV testing and counselling will also be conducted and safe sex campaign materials will be distributed.
