Three prominent Nigerian musical artistes, Ahmed Ololade, widely known as Asake; Oluwatobiloba Anidugbe Daniel, popularly referred to as Kizz Daniel, and Chike Ezekpeazu, recognized simply as Chike, have officially become part of the Globacom family as esteemed brand ambassadors.
The unveiling of this exceptional trio took place at a vibrant ceremony held on Friday at the prestigious Mike Adenuga Towers, situated in Victoria Island, Lagos—the corporate headquarters of the telecommunications giant, Globacom. During the event, Glo highlighted the reason for appointing them, emphasizing that they are "role models who have gone through the grind to stand on the highest pedestal of their dreams."
Asake, an alumnus of Theatre Arts from the renowned Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile Ife, Osun State, possesses a solid educational background. Kizz Daniel, on the other hand, holds a degree in Water Engineering from the Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta, Ogun State, showcasing his commitment to both education and music. Meanwhile, Chike graduated with a degree in Computer Engineering from Covenant University, Ota, Ogun State, illustrating his multidimensional talents.
Globacom proudly stated that their appointment coincides with the celebration of the company's 20 years of operations. By selecting these new ambassadors, Globacom aims 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."
The telecommunications giant firmly believes that "the strength of a nation lies in the ability and potentials of its youth." Therefore, the engagement of Asake, Kizz Daniel, and Chike as ambassadors is intended to serve as inspiration to younger generations, encouraging them to strive towards realizing their dreams by looking up to these accomplished individuals as mentors.
Globacom recognizes that in a time when positive heroes and mentors are scarce, it becomes all the more vital to provide these role models. The company's intention goes beyond promoting the growth of music, Nollywood, and sports, areas where it has been significantly active, to also motivating the youth to aspire to greatness.
The telecommunications giant has established itself as not only the biggest corporate supporter of arts and entertainment in Nigeria but also as a pioneer in enlisting talented and enterprising Nigerian youths as ambassadors.
Globacom extends its warm felicitations to Asake, Kizz Daniel, and Chike while urging the youth to pursue their dreams with the same determination and tenacity exhibited by these three stars, even in the face of challenges.
The company pledges to continue promoting the entertainment sector, recognizing its potential to elevate Nigeria's global standing and transform the lives of diligent and talented youths.
In response, the newly appointed ambassadors expressed their gratitude to Dr. Mike Adenuga Jr., the Chairman of Globacom, for the honor bestowed upon them. They vowed to represent the Glo brand by consistently upholding the company's ideals and values.
