Hon. Abike Dabiri-Erewa, Chairman/CEO of Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NIDCOM), has congratulated the trio of Nigeria’s Super Eagles forward Victor Osimhen, Asisat Oshoala and Chiamaka Nnadozie for winning 2023 CAF Awards, describing them as great Nigerians ambassadors.
In a congratulatory statement issued by NIDCOM Director of Media and Public Relations, Abdur-Rahman Balogun, the NIDCOM boss is elated that the trio brought fame and honour to the country through their athletic talents.
She said the awards further confirmed that Nigerians in the diaspora are well endowed with talents and resources which rub off on the global image of the country and contribute immensely to national development.
She therefore urged other youths to use their talents to contribute to the glory of the country as against using such to tarnish the image of their family as well as the country.
