Patoranking signed as ambassador for WorldRemit entrepreneurship program

WorldRemit, a global digital money transfer service has today announced it’s signing of popular Nigerian musician, Patoranking as the Global Brand Ambassador for the brand and its Africa-focused WorldRemit Entrepreneurs Program.

The WorldRemit Entrepreneurs Program will run simultaneously in Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, and Zimbabwe, from November 2020 through January 2021. WorldRemit customers from around the world are encouraged to send a minimum of £50 (or its equivalent value in their local currency) to recipients in Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya or Zimbabwe and stand the chance of winning the opportunity to nominate a lucky entrepreneur.

In his role as Global brand ambassador, Patrick Nnaemeka Okorie aka Patoranking will help to build awareness for the program and highlight how WorldRemit creates opportunities for Africans in entrepreneurship. Patoranking will promote the partnership with WorldRemit and encourage people to enter the competition which will help to build entrepreneurship across Africa.

Speaking on his ambassadorial engagement, “I am excited to be representing a global brand that is dedicated to incubating dreams and talents. I want to inspire people by helping to create opportunities and being a role model that sparks the thinking – if Patoranking can, so will I…..”.

WorldRemit’s choice for Patoranking as its Global brand ambassador largely stems from his ‘grass-to-grace’ background, his determination to excel in music, and his passion to help others through education and entrepreneurship in Africa. His ‘can-do’ mindset and talent has led to his huge success in Africa’s reggae-dancehall music and a successful music entrepreneur.

Patoranking is a Nigerian reggae-dancehall singer and songwriter. Born and raised in Ijegun-Egba Satellite Town, Patoranking hails from Onicha, Ebonyi State, Nigeria.
