Reigning Nigeria women prize winner in the Access Bank Lagos City Marathon, Deborah Pam has tipped her husband Emmanuel Gyang who is the reigning champion in the Nigeria men’s event to rub shoulders with international elites and make the podium on Saturday.
The 2021 Access Bank Lagos City Marathon will hold Saturday, April 10, 2021.
Pam who recently gave birth to a baby boy will not be in Lagos but she believes the birth of their son will motivate the husband to finish among the top men.
“I am very confident that my husband can do even much better at this year’s marathon because our baby is an extra motivation for him”.
Indeed, doing well in Lagos is non-negotiable for Gyang as he has many plans around his family, especially his new boy from projected earnings from the Access Bank Lagos City Marathon.
“We have not done the baby dedication yet. I hope to do it after winning in Lagos by God’s grace” Gyang declared.
As for Pam, she remains eternally grateful for the role Access Bank Lagos City marathon has played in her career and now her family.
She said: “I want to thank everybody that is involved in the Access Bank Lagos City Marathon for the many things they are doing for us, the motivation and all. It is through the Access Marathon that we got married and now we even have our first child. I pray the almighty God will continue strengthening them and provide for them so they can even do more for us. I wish them a successful event this year and beyond”.
Pam says she is looking forward to returning to training maybe by August in time to be ready to make it to the 2022 edition of the Access Lagos City Marathon.
