The Nigerian Idol winner Kingdom, appointed youth ambassador in Bayelsa
The Bayelsa State Government has appointed the winner of the recently concluded ‘Nigerian Idol’, Kingdom Kroseide, as youth ambassador. The government also granted him an educational scholarship.
Governor Douye Diri made the disclosure on Friday, when he received Kingdom and his team at the Government House, Yenagoa. Before his emergence as the winner, Kingdom was a 200- level student at the Federal University, Otuoke (FUO), in Ogbia Local Government Area, of Bayelsa.
Mr Diri said that the government would henceforth bear the responsibility of the 24-year-old talented singer’s education at the FUO, where he is a student and up to a master’s degree level if he so desired. Mr Diri advised youths of the state to put in their best in whatever they were doing to be successful in life.
The governor said: “In appreciation of the honour you have brought to the state, I hereby announce that you are on the scholarship of the Bayelsa State Government. “As you finish your first degree and if you desire to proceed for a masters degree, the scholarship would also cover your programme. “You are also appointed as an ambassador of the youth of Bayelsa State.
“Let me use this opportunity to call on youths in the state to see Kingdom Kroseide as a role model; as one who, out of hard work and the grace of God, has brought honour to the state.
“I am sure that putting yourselves in legitimate careers, you would bring honour, not only to yourselves but also to your state and country,” he said.
