The Joromi crooner – who who turned 30 earlier in the month of April – was decorated by Consul General F. John Bray at the U.S Consulate in Lagos. Other notable people who were also decorated Human rights ambassadors include former World Bank vice president and co-founder of Transparency International, Oby Ezekwesili, and Nollywood actor and producer, Yomi Fabiyi.  

A few days ago, I was decorated at the US Consulate, by the US Consul General, as one of the Human Rights Ambassadors from Nigeria, in conjunction with CRALI. . It was, and is, an incredible honour to get a platform that enables me to use my voice – to the best of my ability – for this cause. This initiative has also kick-started another – @knowyourrightsng – which I will, at a later time, shed more light on. Thank you ❤ . In the meantime, please follow @knowyourrightsNG and we’ll keep you posted.
