“Starting out by reporting on campus sports helped shape my passion for promoting grassroots sports and I am excited to continue shining lights on the incredible stories and talent emerging from this sector.
“This award will only spur me on to do more, and I'm grateful to the Nigerian Sports Journalists in Diaspora for this recognition and to all my colleagues at Pulse Sports Nigeria for making it possible,” he concluded.
