Muhammadu Buhari awards Nigerian musicians with National Awards
Burna Boy, a superstar in Nigeria, has received the designation of Member of the Order of the Federal Republic.

2Baba and Teni, a music superstar, were among the recipients of awards for their outstanding achievements and contributions to the Nigerian music business.

President Buhari praised Nigerian artists in a statement, saying that they should be recognised. In particular, he cited our very own Burna Boy, who won the Grammy Awards in 2020, as being deserving of notice. He and other artists have given the Nigerian entertainment sector a new identity and elevated it on the world stage.

The statement continued, “At the just concluded Dubai Expo 2020, Nigeria’s pavilion was a beehive of activities as our musicians entertained guests from around the world.”

At the ceremony which was held at the Government House Villa in Aso Rock, President Buhari gave honours to 437 nominees for the National Awards.

One of the 75 recipients of the Member of the Order of the Federal Republic honour was Afrobeats superstar Damini Ebunoluwa Ogulu, better known as Burna Boy.

Burna Boy’s father accepted the award on his son’s behalf. It was given to him in honour of his ground-breaking achievements, which include being the first contemporary Nigerian artist to win a Grammy.
