Nigeria’s Vice President, Kashim Shettima has said Kizz Daniel and Tekno’s 2023 hit song, ‘Buga,’ is almost becoming the country’s second national anthem.
Speaking in an interview with Arise TV, Shettima whose ‘Buga’ dance video went viral last year, explained that he joined the challenge because Nigeria needs to showcase its arts and culture to the world.
He said the government has a vision called “Nigeria Destination 2030″ and remains committed to promoting arts and culture for the actualization of the grand vision.
He said, ”We have a grand vision called ‘Nigeria Destination 2030.’ We can not run away from the fact that Nigerian arts and culture are creating waves in the global scene. And Nigeria has been out of the global scene for quite some time. This is an avenue for us to reintroduce Nigeria. And the ‘Buga’ dance is almost becoming our second national anthem. So we have to showcase Nigeria.”
