These three stars, Ashake, Kizz Daniel and Chike 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 had always identified talented and enterprising Nigerians and supported their endeavours by making them Glo ambassadors, adding that It is a practice for which Globacom has always led the way in Nigeria.
