Bonsoir, ladies and gentlemen. Honorable members of the Nigerian community in France, distinguished guests, I am humbled and honored to stand before you tonight, accepting this prestigious award.
As the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Grassroots Sports, I am privileged to be part of a government that prioritizes sports development and youth empowerment. This award is a testament to the tireless efforts of President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and his administration to promote sports excellence and unity across Nigeria.

I dedicate this award to the unsung heroes of Nigerian sports – the grassroots coaches, administrators, and athletes who toil day and night to make Nigerian sports great. Your dedication and passion inspire us to do more.
