“All is well in terms of the agreement and contract and we have made the payment hence securing the date and venue. We learnt from experience where an international act failed to perform at a show due to lack of forex” he said.
The Nigerian musician has since confirmed her performance in the country.
She posted on her Facebook page a tour schedule that indicates that she will perform in the country on October 15 2023.
Ayra’s performance in the country in October will add to a list of other Nigerian acts that have starred in the country and they include P Square, 2 Face Idibia, Ric Hassan and Kizz Daniel.
