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 image of the country and contribute immensely to national development.
