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 rubs off on the global

through the contributions of the award winners in their chosen career of
sports, thus encouraging others to emulate such gesture and be good
ambassadors of the country.
