Emzor renews contract with Super Falcons captain Oshoala

Emzor Pharmaceutical yesterday celebrated Nigeria’s Asisat Oshoala for her appointment as the captain of the Super Falcons.

The Chief Executive Officer of Emzor Pharmaceutical, Mrs Stella Okoli, while celebrating the Barcelona striker in Lagos, said the company was also renewing her contract as its brand ambassador.

“There is need to celebrate the best, a trail blazer, someone who is passionate about girls and making efforts to help them.

“The reason she is successful is because of her integrity; no matter what she is passing through, she has always done good to others.

“Oshoala, an inspiring young woman, is also a great role model to young women in Nigeria and we are very proud of all her accomplishments and effort towards encouraging under-privileged girls through her foundation.

“This is one of the reasons we are renewing her contract today as Emzor brand ambassador, so that she can continue helping girls in need,” she said.

Mark Redgaurd, Brand and Marketing Consultant, Emzor Pharmaceutical, said that the company was a big supporter of sport development among females in Nigeria.

He said that this was why for about five years now, they had continued to sponsor the national football teams, including Super Eagles and Super Falcons.

Oshoala said she gave her best in what she did because many girls looked up to her.

“I want these girls to know they shouldn’t focus just on football, because when they are like 40 to 50 years, they may not be able to do much; but should also combine it with school or any handwork they are good at.

“They should understand that as women, they cannot play football forever; like 40, 50 you cannot play football again.

“I also know that I represent many people on the pitch and a lot of girls look up to me; and so, I tend to give my best as a good time model,” she said. (NAN)
