| Ademola Lookman, CAF Player Of The Year (Men) 2024 | Nnadozie Chiamaka, CAF Goalkeeper Of The Year (Women) 2024 |
“Lookman had a great performance at the previous AFCON competition and is a reliable player for his team, Atalanta.
The back to back victory for Nigeria in the CAF Men’s Category, after Victor Osimhen’s victory last year reflects the strong showing our country’s athletes put on their respective stages.
I also send my felicitations to Chiamaka Nnadozie for winning the Best Women’s Goalkeeper Prize.
Up Nigeria!”
