Femi Otedola celebrates mom after she receives prestigious accolade from Pope Francis

Dame Christine Doja, the mother of billionaire Femi Otedola, received a new honor from Pope Francis.

She was awarded the Papal honor of Pro Ecclesia et Pontifice, which her 61-year-old son believes she truly deserves.

Femi celebrated his 92-year-old mother by sharing photos of her proudly holding the award as she pose with other clergy.

The 88-year-old retired Archbishop of Lagos, Cardinal Anthony Olubunmi Okogie, was present at the event celebrating Dame Doja.

The Cross Pro Ecclesia et Pontifice, or Cross of Honor, was founded in 1888 by Pope Leo XIII. It is presented to Catholics aged 45 and older who have provided significant service

to the Catholic Church and the Papal office. This is the top Papal award that can be given to women.
