We are happy that she has indeed passed the test," said Olatutu Oladunni, Executive Chairman of Lagos SWAN, who disclosed in a statement at the weekend that the association sees the 26 years old athlete as a great ambassador of the country.

"She will continue to be a great ambassador to our teeming youths, upcoming rising stars and our dear country Nigeria," Oladunni said.
