It was a homecoming for the reigning Miss Universe Nigeria, Chidimma Onwe Adetsina, Thursday, as Governor Peter Mbah of her home state, Enugu, received and appointed her a brand ambassador of the state, noting that her doggedness represents the innate attribute of the people of Enugu State.
Receiving the indigene of Amurri, Nkanu West LGA of the state and her father, Mr. Okechukwu Onwe, at the Government House, Enugu, Mbah said she had demonstrated that with determination, the young could achieve their goals.
“I am very delighted to congratulate and welcome you to your homeland. Enugu State has played a consequential role in the history of this nation. So, you should really be proud of your heritage and we are equally proud to have you as a daughter of Enugu State.
“Your story is inspiring. You could see that despite all attempts to malign and discourage you, you demonstrated that you are a true daughter of Enugu State. You overcame those challenges with the grit and resilience the people of Enugu State are known for.
“With the height and the feat you have attained today, you are able to act as major influence to our young people, girls in particular. We are going to look at how you could engage some of our young people, share your experience, what you have been through, and how you got to where you are today. Sharing that will be quite inspiring and encouraging,” Mbah stated.
