Grammy award winner, Damini Ogulu, alias Burna Boy, who was promised a cash reward of N10 million last Saturday by Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State has been credited with the amount today, according to the Rivers State Commissioner for Culture and Tourism, Mrs. Tonye Brigg Oniyide.

“The Rivers State Government has made good its promise to give ten million to each of the performing artistes who participated at the Burna Boy homecoming state reception/concert in Port Harcourt last Saturday,” the Commissioner said in a statement on Wednesday.

She further said, “The accounts of the beneficiaries have been credited as directed by the Governor.”

Though the commissioner did not give the names of the other beneficiaries, Inetimi Timaya Odon alias Timaya and Duncan Wene Mighty Okechukwu alias Duncan Mighty were among the artistes that performed on the homecoming night.

Dandyzzy, one of the artistes billed to perform that night missed out on the largesse because he rejected the N300,000 fee offered him by the state government. But he said it did not matter as it was a business that did not sail through.
