Upon receiving the award, an elated Nnadozie dedicated the honor to aspiring young girls, saying: “This is for every young girl who dares to dream. I am honoured to represent Nigeria and Africa on this stage. This award is a testament to hard work, resilience, and the incredible support I’ve received from my teammates and coaches.”
