She prayed for God’s protection on him while urging him to keep up the good Nigeria spirit and bring more glory to the nation.
Ugochukwu, a Nigerian-American son of a former Nigerian Queen, Oluchi Onweagba, began his racing journey at an early age as a car racing wonder kid with kart racing, a variant of motorsport, in 2013.
His resilience, doggedness, dedication and determination to success has led him to clinch this victory as he never gives up, but keeps pushing till the end of the race against all odds.
Ugochukwu made his first mark in motorsport when he won the ROK Cup USS championship title and expanded his horizons by competing in European aeries, securing second place in the Mini ROK Cup and Mini 60 Italian Championship.
He had a breakthrough in 2017 when he won the Mini X39IAME All Star Finals and the IAME International X30 Mini Cup showcasing his prowess on the global stage.
His exceptional talent and charisma has been the bane of his success.
“Congratulations Ugochukwu, wishing you more wins in your future endeavours,” Dabiri-Erewa added.
