X3M singer, Simisola Ogunleye, popularly referred to as Simi, is indeed super excited after she landed a new endorsement with one of the  telecommunications giants.

While addressing newsmen in Lagos, Simi mentioned a good work ethic as one of her secrets to success.

The ”Jamb question” crooner said: “I am very elated that such is happening to me right now. This will give me a bigger platform than I had before. The limelight is now bigger than it used to be. When you work hard and have good work ethics and you continue to improve yourself, the sky is the beginning of the limit.

 I am not surprised at my success, I am just grateful to God. My record label, X3M Music, is very important to my career. They allow me to have creative expression. They don’t dictate the kind of music I do. They support me and push me.”

Vice President, Marketing, Etisalat Nigeria, Adebisi Idowu said of the singer: “Simi is one of the best talents out of Nigeria in the last few years. Etisalat is all about empowering young people, helping them to be all they can be. Simi fits in very well and we are going to invest a lot, not just in her music but also in her future.”

About their plans for the singer, Idowu said: “We have a robust plan for Simi. It’s not just about her. She is going to be the face of encouragement to other young people.”
