World and Commonwealth Games champion in women's 100m hurdles, Tobi Amusan (OON), has been made a Youth Ambassador in Ogun State to serve as a role model to other young Nigerians, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

The Ogun State Government also gave her a house and Five Million Naira a few weeks after breaking the world record.

Amusan received the award at the Ogun State Government House, Abeokuta on Tuesday where she and her management team met with Governor Dapo Abiodun.

While receiving Amusan, Abiodun commended her doggedness, resilience, and determination to excel, urging other youths to emulate her and develop their natural talents.

"My adopted daughter and world-record-holding athlete, Ms Tobi Amusan paid me a courtesy visit in Oke-Mosan Tuesday morning."

"I announced her appointment as Youth Ambassador in Ogun State in recognition of her world records and other stellar achievements.

“We are going to be presenting you with one of those homes in Ijebu-Ode. We rest assured that you will come back home and live in Ijebu Ode.

“We will be giving you a small token. Now you are a big girl, we are only a state government. No matter who you are, you can’t be bigger than your state. It’s not the quantum of what we are giving you but the thoughts that come with it. We are donating to you the sum of N5 million today," the Governor said.
