His leadership in this significant role brings immense pride to our nation, and I am confident he will excel and further cement Nigeria’s reputation for excellence in global finance.”
According to a statement issued by Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, the President also praised Amusan’s outstanding performance in Tokyo, noting her relentless dedication and patriotic spirit.
