A Nigerian doctor, Freeman Osonuga has been named among top three young global leaders who could win a trip to space worth $100,000.

The young doctor could become the first black African in space.

The competition is “organized by London-based talent agency Kruger Cowne in partnership with One Young World and Xcor Space Expeditions… putting this person in the global spotlight to help lead and promote issues of global importance,” Quartz reported.

“If selected, I will be making Africa proud as the first black African to go to space thereby making history in the process,”

“Going to space is not the overall objective of the project. It is to be able to raise global conversations on issues that affect us all as inhabitants of planet earth such as climate change, global peace and poverty,” Osonuga told Quartz.

The race to be the first black African to space is heating up as South African DJ Mandla Maseko could still beat Osonuga to the record. Maseko, who won a different contest but he is still waiting for the confirmation date for his space mission, provisionally set for 2016.http://www.ghanaweb.com/GhanaHomePage/worldNews/Nigerian-doctor-makes-top-three-in-space-competition-388884
