Vice President, Kashim Shettima, expresses that Kizz Daniel and Tekno's 2023 hit song, 'Buga,' is poised to evolve into the country's second national anthem.
In an interview with Arise TV, Shettima, whose ‘Buga’ dance video went viral last year, discloses that his participation in the challenge aimed to showcase Nigeria's arts and culture globally.
He emphasizes the government's commitment to nurturing arts and culture in line with the vision of "Nigeria Destination 2030."

“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.”
