He had done so since its inception in supporting and uplifting the narrative of the African refugee.

The UN agency wrote on twitter: “He met displaced people’s families to hear their stories. He wrote & recorded a song to raise funds for refugees.

He is the first Nigerian to be appointed a UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador. Welcome to the family, Afropop music legend @official2baba,”.
