Bovi Ugboma, the Nigerian comedian, has joined other celebrities in endorsing the Go Nigeria campaign for effective youth participation in the 2023 general election.
Go Nigeria, an advocacy initiative to sensitize Nigerian youths to participate in the electoral process, announced its appointment of the entertainer in an ambassadorial deal on Tuesday.
With the deal, Bovi becomes the latest “Go Ambassador,” helping to intensify the public enlightenment initiative.
Go ambassadors are celebrities and outstanding people in various endeavours that include the arts, sciences, entertainment, tech professionals, performing artists, sportspeople, innovators, and social advocates.
