After overcoming numerous challenges, Pelumi completed a remarkable solo journey from London to Lagos in just 68 days. Her arrival at the University of Lagos was met with a warm reception, with dignitaries and fans alike welcoming her in grand style.
But the celebrations didn’t end there for Pelumi. In a surprising turn of events, the governor of Lagos State, Jide Sanwo-Olu, appointed her as the state’s brand ambassador for tourism. This prestigious title came with additional perks, including a house in Lagos and a new car with a customised plate number.
In a video shared on her Instagram, Sanwo-Olu expressed his confidence in Pelumi, stating, “She’ll sell Lagos for us.” This recognition is a testament to Pelumi’s incredible journey and her dedication to promoting tourism in Lagos.
Congratulations to Pelumi on this well-deserved honor!
