Ademola Lookman Presents His CAF Player of the Year Award to President Tinubu
Ademola Lookman has officially presented his CAF Player of the Year award to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu during the president’s visit to Lagos. The Atalanta winger was welcomed by Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu before meeting with President Tinubu at the Government House on Friday.
Lookman clinched the prestigious title of Africa’s best player last December at a grand event in Marrakech, Morocco, becoming the second Nigerian in a row to win it after Victor Osimhen in 2023. His standout performances at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations in Côte d’Ivoire earned him widespread praise.
He scored three goals, provided an assist, and was a key force in Nigeria’s journey to the final. Lookman also delivered one of the most memorable performances of the season in Europe, scoring a stunning hat-trick in the Europa League final to lead Atalanta past Bayer Leverkusen.

“Over time, human society has moved away from an era when lives could be taken without consequence. Through the evolution of civilisation, a fundamental principle has emerged: no one should be punished or deprived of life without due process and a fair determination of guilt.”
