Tinubu hosts Super Bowl winner Ojomo
President Bola Tinubu has received Nigerian-born American football player Moro Ojomo at the State House in Abuja.
During the meeting, Tinubu commended the 23-year-old defensive tackle for his achievements in the National Football League (NFL) and his display of the Nigerian flag during the Super Bowl, describing it as a source of national pride.
The President praised Ojomo’s perseverance and emphasized his administration’s commitment to engaging talents in the diaspora to drive human capital development, particularly in sports.
“With the kind of focus that you have, you can mentor many youths and develop our culture,” Tinubu told Ojomo.
Ojomo, who was instrumental in helping the Philadelphia Eagles win Super Bowl LIX, was joined by his sister Modele and parents Ololade and Bimbo.
Ojomo, who was born in Lagos, immigrated to the US with his family when he was seven years old. Only a few weeks after the Eagles defeated the Kansas City Chiefs 40–22 in the Super Bowl, which took place in New Orleans on February 9, 2025, he landed in Nigeria on Wednesday.
