Oba of Benin, Oba Ewuare II, on Thursday honoured Afrobeats sensation, Rema, with a royal plaque.
The plague was presented to Rema at Oba Ewure’s palace at a colourful ceremony.
The palace said the award recognised Rema’s tireless efforts to promote the Benin Kingdom and Edo State through his music.
Rema, who hails from Benin City, has been a proud ambassador of his hometown, showcasing its rich cultural heritage in his songs.
The royal plaque came on the heels of Rema’s involvement in the groundbreaking ceremony of the Edo Arena, which is set to be named Rema Dome in his honour.
