Nigeria’s President, Bola Tinubu on Monday commended Nigeria’s musical talents nominated for the 2024 Grammy Awards: Burna Boy, Davido, Olamide, Tems, Asake, and Ayra Starr for their courage in striving for recognition in the global music industry.
The president in a statement signed by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Ajuri Ngelale congratulated the artistes for their nominations in the recent Grammy Awards.
Tinubu applauded them for putting Nigeria “on the chart of cultural command through their artistry and anthemic earworms, building and earning our nation enormous soft power.”
The president said “Our superstars nominated for the Grammy Awards are all winners. I am proud of their exploits. They represent that Nigerian ideal; the courage to strive and succeed against all odds and the hope to stay true to purpose. I congratulate and thank them for being exemplary envoys of Nigeria.”
