Vice President, Kashim Shettima has said that Kizz Daniel’s 2022 hit song “Buga” has gained popularity to the point that it almost became the country’s second national anthem.

Shettima, in an interview with Arise TV, said he participated in the dance challenge to showcase Nigeria’s arts and culture to the global audience.

The Vice President said that the government is dedicated to a vision called “Nigeria Destination 2030” and emphasised its commitment to fostering the promotion of arts and culture as part of realising this overarching vision.

He said: “We have a grand vision called ‘Nigeria Destination 2030.’ We cannot 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.” (The Nation)
