The striker said he plans to emulate Sadio Mane, who is famed for his philanthropic efforts for the people of Senegal, and in going into specifics about his own plans, Osimhen revealed his desire to help people with disabilities on the continent.
This project is one the Lagos-born forward is passionate about, as he said he is ready to give it all to see the project thrive.
“I am inspired by what Sadio Mane does for his people, even if mine will be a different project," Osimhen said, per GetfootballNewsItaly.
"He helps the Senegalese community and I want to help all the people with disabilities not just in Nigeria, but in Africa. I am ready to give life to my support project and I want to do everything in my power.”
Osimhen setting Nigerian and African records
Osimhen is one of the best strikers in world football this season; his 21 league goals helped him break the record for the most goals scored by a Nigerian in a single Serie A season, previously held by Simy Nwankwo (20).
