World, Commonwealth and African women’s 100m hurdles champion Tobi Amusan is delighted after she was officially unveiled as an ambassador of Nigeria’s digital and telecommunications services provider, Globacom on Thursday in Lagos.
Amusan was unveiled to the media at the company’s headquarters, Mike Adenuga Towers, in Victoria Island, Lagos.
She became the first Nigerian world champion in an athletic event when she won the gold medal in the women’s 100m hurdles event at the 2022 World Athletics Championships, setting a new world record of 12.12secs in the semi-finals of the event, and followed it up with 12.06secs in the final to claim the gold medal.
Amusan, a two-time African Games champion, also won back-to-back African and Commonwealth titles in the 100m hurdles. She concluded her highly successful 2022 campaign by competing in the 100m hurdles at the Zurich Diamond League event, which she won in 12.29secs.
The Ogun-born athlete lauded Globacom for appointing her as their ambassador, and assured the company of good representation at all times, in addition to being a good role model for the youths.
“I am proud to be associated with Glo as its brand ambassador. It is a proudly Nigerian company doing great things and empowering Nigerians.
