Our ambassador­s are role models to young Nigerians – Glo

- Abiodun Alade, Lagos

Telecommun­ications Company Globacom has said it carefully selects ambassador­s who can serve as role models to young Nigerians to aspire for greatness. The company said this is more important in an era where positive heroes and mentors are scarce and hard to come by.

This was disclosed during the unveiling of music stars Oluwatobil­oba Daniel (Kizz Daniel), Ahmed Ololade (Asake) and Chike Ezekpeazu (Chike) as brand ambassador­s.

The trio, who were unveiled at a colourful event at the Mike Adenuga Towers, joined the league of brand ambassador­s of the telecom giant.

The company said the engagement of the three stars as ambassador­s is meant to project the best of Nigerians as models for younger people, who are tirelessly aspiring to succeed.

“This is more important in an era where positive heroes and mentors are scarce and hard to come by. The intention is not just to promote the growth of music, Nollywood and sports, where we have been very prominent, but also to encourage our teeming youths to aspire toward realising their dreams by looking up to these ambassador­s as mentors,” it noted in a statement.

Asake noted that the endorsemen­t was a dream come true for him as he has always admired other ambassador­s of the brand.

“While in secondary school, I always see billboards where you have the early ambassador­s of this company. It was a challenge for me to also be the best so I can be there and I am grateful that dream has come true today,” he said.

On his part, Chike promised to be a worthy ambassador of the brand.
