Nigeria’s Vice President, Kashim Shettima, has stated that Kizz Daniel and Tekno’s 2023 hit song, ‘Buga,’ is on track to become the country’s second national anthem.
Shettima, whose ‘Buga’ dance video went viral last year, told Arise TV that he entered the competition to exhibit Nigeria’s arts and culture to the rest of the globe.
The government aims to achieve its “Nigeria Destination 2030” objective through encouraging arts and culture.
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.”
