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.
