Hitmaker Davido is one of the biggest musicians to emerge from Nigeria and Africa with his music travelling beyond the continent and making him the most followed Nigerian musician on social media, while Afolayan is one of the most awarded filmmakers in Nollywood with several blockbuster movies including Figurine, October 1, and most recently Anikulapo.

Davido celebrated his conferment by posting a picture of the list of awardees on his Instagram story.

The award-winning singer joins Afrobeats stars Teni, Burna Boy, and Fuji legend Wasiu Ayinde as artists who have received national awards from outgoing President Buhari.
