Nigerian music sensation Tems is set to take centre stage at the grand opening ceremony of the Obama Presidential Center in Chicago this Thursday, marking another major milestone in her flourishing international career.
The Grammy Award-winning singer has been confirmed as one of the performers for the historic event, which will be held on the South Side of Chicago.
The ceremony comes a day before the centre officially opens its doors to the public on Juneteenth, a significant occasion that commemorates the end of slavery in the United States.
Tems will share the spotlight with an impressive line-up of globally celebrated artists and music legends.

The Obama Presidential Centre, inspired by former United States President Barack Obama and former First Lady Michelle Obama, has been years in the making and is widely regarded as one of the most anticipated cultural projects in the country.
Although attendance at the official opening ceremony is restricted to invited guests, members of the public will still have an opportunity to take part in the celebrations.
