Nigerian billionaire and philanthropist, Femi Otedola, has extended his heartfelt congratulations to the newly elected Pope, Leo XIV.
He took to Instagram on Friday to share a photograph of the pontiff visiting the Augustinian community in Abuja, Nigeria in 2016.
“On behalf of the Board of Trustees, Governing Council, and Management of Augustine University Ilara, Epe, Lagos State, I, Femi Otedola CON, Chancellor, proudly congratulate our new Pope, Leo XIV @Pontifex, a devoted Augustinian Priest from whom our University draws its name and heritage,” he stated.
In his trip to Nigeria, the new Pope also visited the Augustinian community in Abuja, a fact Otedola acknowledged in his congratulatory message.
“We are especially proud that His Holiness visited the Augustinian community in Abuja in 2016, where he commissioned key projects,” the businessman added.
