Here's saying THANK YOU to my sponsor, ARCO Group, for your Student-Athlete Scholarship since 2016, which has supported both my Athletics Career & studies at the University of Lagos. I couldn't have achieved everything that I have in the last 2 years without you. #ForeverGrateful

[Joy Udo-Gabriel @JoyUdoGabriel]

2018 has been all shades of all round awesomeness. From winning medals locally & internationally, to breaking personal bests and records, I am immensely grateful for the love and support that I have received all year round. As a result, I have become a better person and athlete.
