Rivers State Government is putting up arrangements to host Grammy Award winning Afrobeat artiste, Damini Ogulu, also known as Burna Boy, to a homecoming.

The Commissioner for Culture and Tourism, Mr. Tonye Oniyide, said in a congratulatory letter to Burna Boy, who hails from Engenni in Rivers State, had made the history and Rivers State proud by winning the award.

In a similar vein, the National President of the Coalition of Nigerian Artistes, Ikana Iwunya, has described the Grammy Award won by Burna Boy as well deserved and a boost to other Nigerian Artistes.
