US Mission Honors Three Legendary Nigerian Artists

In commemoration of 50 years of artistic collaborations between the United States and Nigeria, the U.S. Mission honored three legendary Nigerian artists — Chief Nike Davies-Okundaye, Chief Jimoh Buraimoh, and Prof. Bruce Onobrakpeya — with the U.S. Exchange Alumni Lifetime Achievement Award.  

The award recognized the three iconic artists, who first traveled to the United States over 50 years ago, as participants of the U.S. Department of State’s International Visitor Leadership Program (IVLP). 

U.S. Ambassador Richard Mills presented each of the artists with a commemorative certificate, honoring their exceptional commitment to their artistic craft, dedicated mentorship of emerging creatives, and invaluable contributions that have strengthened the bonds between the people of the United States and Nigeria.  

In his remarks, Ambassador Mills noted that the U.S. government is committed to supporting programs and initiatives that nurture cultural exchange, promote artistic expression, preserve cultural heritage, and strengthen the capacity of Nigerian artists and professionals across the creative industries.
