Nigeria's Vice President, Kashim Shettima, has asserted that the 2023 hit song 'Buga' by Kizz Daniel and Tekno is on the verge of becoming the country's unofficial second national anthem, as revealed in an interview with Arise TV. Shettima, whose 'Buga' dance video gained widespread attention last year, expressed his participation in the dance challenge as a means to showcase Nigeria's rich arts and culture globally.
Shettima emphasized the government's commitment to promoting arts and culture, aligning it with the overarching vision of "Nigeria Destination 2030." He highlighted the global recognition Nigerian arts and culture are gaining and stressed the importance of reintroducing Nigeria onto the global stage. Shettima went on to describe the 'Buga' dance as nearly evolving into a second national anthem and emphasized the need to showcase Nigeria's cultural richness to the world.
