The unveiling was done at an impressive and colourful ceremony held at the company’s corporate headquarters, Mike Adenuga Towers, where the three music stars formally put pen to paper as Globacom brand icons.
The telecoms giant, which recently marked 20 years of operation in the country, made this known in a statement.
It said 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 Kizz Daniel, Ashake and Chike as ambassadors “is meant to project the best of Nigerians as models for younger people who are tirelessly aspiring to succeed.
“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.”
These three stars, Ashake, Kizz Daniel and Chike, Globacom added, are “role models who have gone through the grind to stand on the highest pedestal of their dreams,” Globacom revealed.
Aside from sponsoring major events in several spheres of Nigeria’s national life, the company said it has always identified talented and enterprising Nigerians and supported their endeavours by making them Glo ambassadors.
The company further stated that it is a practice for which Globacom has always led the way in Nigeria.
Ahmed Ololade, known worldwide as Ashake, is a graduate of the Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile Ife, Osun State.
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, Globacom called on young people not to allow their dreams to die but to emulate the three music stars who kept their dreams alive until they succeeded.
It added that having them as ambassadors of “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.”
It noted that the unveiling of Kizz Daniel, Ashake and Chike is a 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 which it said 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.
