Super Eagles winger Ademola Lookman paid a courtesy visit to President Bola Tinubu at his Lagos residence on Friday, proudly presenting his 2024 CAF Footballer of the Year award.
Lookman was crowned Africa’s best player at a well attended ceremony in Marrakech, Morocco in 2024.
The 27-year-old succeeded his compatriot Victor Osimhen, who won the award in 2023.
The winger was recognised for his impressive displays for Nigeria during the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations in Cote d’Ivoire.
He scored three goals and registered one assist in seven appearances for the Super Eagles at the competition.
Lookman also played a crucial role in Atalanta’s UEFA Europa League success last season , netting a hat-trick in the final against Bayer Leverkusen
