“With the third Diamond League trophy in her kitty, Amusan remains a true African ambassador at the world stage and an inspiration to millions of youths who look up to her as a role model”, the digital solutions company said in the statement.
It described Amusan as the quintessence of the Nigerian spirit of resilience and enterprise which Globacom symbolises, and urged her to continue to work hard, win more laurels and leave a mark that will be difficult to forget in world athletics.
