Princess Bola Ezeji, a Nigerian professional vocal artist, performed a Bangla song (If it could be heard when night was over that Bangabandhu had not died…/Jodi RaatPohale Shona Jeto….) as a tribute to Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman.
The High Commission of Bangladesh in Nigeria took the initiative as a part of the year-long programme to celebrate the birth centenary of Bangabandhu (Mujib Year).
The famous Bangla song rendered by Sabina Yasmin which was composed by Hassan Motiur Rahman and tuned by Moloy Ganguli, found its beautiful expression through the melodious voice of a foreign singer.
This is also expected to contribute in creating better bonding between the peoples of the two friendly countries. The video is available at the YouTube channel of the Mission (https://youtu.be/NuU7k0g-29E).
Earlier, Nigerian Postal Service (NIPOST) released a Commemorative Postage Stamp to mark Mujib Year.
