Former Super Eagles captain, Mikel Obi, on Tuesday paid a courtesy visit to the Governor of Lagos state, Babajide Sanwo-Olu.
The former Chelsea star disclosed this in a post via his Instagram account.
He thanked Sanwo-Olu for his unique strategic engagement towards advancing youth sports in Lagos.
“Special thanks to H.E, Governor of Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, for a unique strategic engagement towards youth enablement and the advancement of sports in Lagos State,” the former Chelsea star wrote.
This is coming less than two weeks after he visited Governor Yahaya Bello of Kogi State.
The 34-year-old was also appointed Youth Ambassador by the Federal Government of Nigeria last week.

The footballer was described by the Minister as a “role model whose lasting legacies in football development has continued to have a positive impact on youths in the country.”
