The 2023 popular song “Buga” by Kizz Daniel and Tekno, according to Nigeria’s Vice President Kashim Shettima, is on the verge of becoming the nation’s second national anthem.
Shettima, whose “Buga” dance video went viral last year, said in an interview with Arise TV that he accepted the challenge because Nigeria needs to show off its arts and culture to the rest of the globe.
According to him, the government is dedicated to advancing the arts and culture in order to realize the lofty goal of “Nigeria Destination 2030.”
Says he: ”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.”
