“Time will not permit me to say much about Mikel’s success as a footballer. He is our legend and a role model who has continued to impact the lives of youth positively.”

Mikel promised to work with the sports ministry to foster youth development in the country.

“I feel highly honoured to be appointed as Youth
Ambassador of this country, it is a great feeling,” Obi said.
