Chairman, Copyright Society of Nigeria (COSON), Tony Okoroji has mourned the passing away of iconic composer, instrumentalist and performer, Dr. Adamu Dan Maraya Jos.
According to Okoroji, he has been a fan of the lat musician for many years, who he said his humility stood him out.
“Throughout my tenure as president of PMAN up to my present period as Chairman of COSON, Dan Maraya was an unflinching supporter always urging me on.
The news of his death has left me numb. Dan Maraya was not just a great talent but an incredibly polished gentleman, humble beyond belief. His yes was his yes and every word of his was a bond,” Okoroji said.
The COSON boss urged both the Federal and Plateau state governments to do something to immortalize the late singer.
“Of course, there will be more musicians who will come and go. There will be more polished gentlemen who will come and go but there will never be another Dan Maraya Jos,” he stated.
