Dikko, in a press statement signed by Mrs Kehinde Ajayi, director of press, NSC, remarked that the achievement exemplifies the true spirit of Nigerian youth, which is why President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, has consistently prioritised the capacity building of the nation’s young population.

 

“I am not surprised by this latest feat from another Nigerian youth, as our youthful population is among the most resilient, determined, and industrious in the world,” he stated. “I want to extend my special congratulations to him for putting Nigeria back on the world map as a pacesetter and history-maker in the creative industry.”

That was why we approved his use of the Velodrome, and today we celebrate his remarkable achievement.”
