Globacom has signed a multi-million Naira deal with Afrobeats stars, Asake, Kizz Daniel, and Chike.
On Friday, September 29, the trio of Ahmed Ololade, a.k.a Asake; Oluwatobiloba Anidugbe Daniel popularly known as Kizz Daniel, and Chike Ezekpeazu Osebuka inked the deals at the Michael Adenuga Towers on Victoria Island, Lagos.
Though none of the singers revealed the amount for which they were signed by the telecom giant, sources revealed that it runs into hundreds of millions of Naira.
Asake, a graduate of Theatre Arts from Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile Ife, Osun State; Kizz Daniel, a degree holder in Water Engineering from the Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta, Ogun State and Chike, a Computer Engineering graduate of Covenant University, Ota, Ogun State were signed to the Glo family amidst pomp and glee.
Globacom noted the announcement of the three brand ambassadors as part of its celebration of the 20th anniversary of Glo and added that it appointed the new ambassadors.
It stated,
“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 engagement of these three stars as ambassadors “is meant to project the best 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 realizing their dreams by looking up to these ambassadors as mentors”, the company disclosed.
While congratulating the new ambassadors, Globacom urged youths not to relent until they achieve their dreams like Asake, Kizz Daniel, and Chike. It added that,
“this 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.”
