The mother Princess UgonwaezehAgugo who coincidentally is Nigeria’s first female National Rugby Team captain confirmed this exclusively to Sports Intelligence Magazine.

She was eight years old when she captained her team and would go on to take part in the National Youth Games at age nine. When asked what kind of celebration would be involved to mark this double celebration, her mother stated that time may not allow for such as a low key would suffice.

"We are on transit now" she started. "Zikora would probably still be on transit while her birthday last and it might take time before we settle down. "I am not sure we would not do anything elaborate, but she surely would get a treat as usual and this time it's going to be special.

Princess Ugonwaezeh-Agugo who was appointed into Rugby Africa Women’s Player Welfare and Participation Sub Committee earlier this year had pledged to give her daughter all the support needed to develop in the game, but would not compel her in the future.
