NIDCOM Chairman, Abike Dabiri-Erewa gave the commendation, through the Commission spokesman, Abdur-Rahman Balogun, during a courtesy visit made by Affangha and her team to the Commission’s Headquarters in Abuja on Friday
The NiDCOM Boss said Affangha’s zeal to use her platform to curb hunger, poverty and female-child abuse, has earned her this lofty opportunity to enhance her portfolio.
Dabiri-Erewa, equally an advocate for youth, encouraged the Nigerian Beauty Queen to mentor more younger Nigerians, especially as most youths have resorted to crime and other societal ills.
The NiDCOM Chairman advised the Face of Culture Africa Queen, to represent the nation, well, and utilise the new skills to be learnt, for national development.
Following her winning the Face of Culture Africa, Affangha got nominated to represent Nigeria at the UN Best Diplomats Conference holding in London in September.
