Nigeria's Vice President, Kashim Shettima, has expressed his admiration for Kizz Daniel and Tekno's hit song, 'Buga,' stating that it is on the verge of becoming the country's second national anthem.

In an interview with Arise TV, Shettima, who participated in the 'Buga' dance challenge that gained popularity in 2023, emphasized the importance of showcasing Nigeria's arts and culture to the world.

The Vice President explained that the government is committed to promoting arts and culture as part of its vision, "Nigeria Destination 2030."

Shettima believes that celebrating and embracing cultural expressions, such as the 'Buga' dance challenge, is essential for the realization of this grand vision.

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.”
