Three Nigerian music acts, Asake, Kizz Daniel and Chike, were on Friday named Globacom brand ambassadors.
At an impressive and colourful ceremony held on Friday at the company’s corporate headquarters, Mike Adenuga Towers, the three music artistes formally put pen to paper as brand icons of Globacom.
Said Globacom, a total digital solution provider, which recently marked 20 years of operation in the country, it “is celebrating it with the appointment of these new ambassadors to project the power of youth and enterprise and how much they can achieve with the right focus, passion and dedication that can come from seeing others who have succeeded.
“This is very much part of our tradition as we believe the strength of a nation lies in the ability and potentials of its youth”.
The company noted that the engagement of these three artistes as ambassadors was meant to project the best Nigerians as models for younger people who are tirelessly aspiring to succeed.
Said Globacom: “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”.
The company described the three music acts, Ashake, Kizz Daniel and Chike as “role models who have gone through the grind to stand on the highest pedestal of their dreams”.
Aside from sponsoring major events in several spheres of Nigeria’s national life, the company said it had always identified talented and enterprising Nigerians and supported their endeavours by making them Glo ambassadors, adding that It was a practice for which Globacom had always led the way in Nigeria.
Ahmed Ololade, known worldwide as Asake, is a graduate of the Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile Ife, Osun State, while Oluwatobiloba Daniel Anidugbe, known to all music lovers as Kizz Daniel, has a degree in Water Engineering from the Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta, Ogun State. On his part, Chike Ezekpeazu Osebuka, known simply as Chike to lovers of music, graduated with a degree in Computer Engineering, from Covenant University, Ogun State.
Congratulating the new ambassadors, the company called on young people not to allow their dreams to die but to emulate these three artstes who kept their dreams alive until they succeeded.
Said Globacom: “Having these musicians as ambassadors of Globacom is our way of inspiring a whole generation of young people with vision who can do better and achieve more without losing hope along the way, even when confronted with challenges”.
Noting that the unveiling of these three acts as further confirmation of its commitment to the empowerment of Nigerians and the development of the Nigerian entertainment industry, Globacom pledged to continue to promote the sector as it held great prospects to promote Nigeria to the world and also transform lives.
On their part, the new ambassadors expressed gratitude to the founder and Chairman of Globacom, Dr. Mike Adenuga Jr., for the honour done to them and promised to represent the Glo brand by projecting the ideals of the company at all times.
