Fresh off a historic hat trick in the Europa League final and being named the 2024 CAF African Footballer of the Year, Nigerian footballer Ademola Lookman recently paid courtesy visits to Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu and Nigeria’s President, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
Governor Sanwo-Olu hosted Lookman at the Lagos House, Marina, and shared the special moment on X (formerly Twitter). The governor praised the Atalanta forward for his discipline and for inspiring millions of Nigerian youths.
“His journey is a powerful reminder of how far passion, discipline, and hard work can take you. He is focused, grounded, and fully aware of the responsibility he carries as a role model,” Governor Sanwo-Olu wrote. “Thank you, Ademola, for flying the Nigerian flag high and showing the world what we’re made of.”
Lookman also met with President Tinubu, presenting his CAF Player of the Year plaque and sharing warm moments and photographs with both the President and Governor.
This visit highlights Lookman’s growing national recognition following his breakout performances on the continental stage and in European club football.
