Dame Christine Doja, the mother of billionaire businessman Femi Otedola, had another feather added to her cap of achievements as she was honoured by Pope Francis.

She was given an award of the Papal honour of Pro Ecclesia et Pontifice which her 61-year-old son stated was well deserved.

While applauding the 92-year-old, Femi shared photos of his mother being given the award, which she raised above her head as she posed with other clerics.

88-year-old Archbishop emeritus of Lagos, Cardinal Anthony Olubunmi Okogie, was also in attendance at the event in honour of Dame Doja.

The Cross Pro Ecclesia et Pontifice, or Cross of Honor, was established in 1888 by Pope Leo XIII. It is awarded to Catholics aged 45 and above who have shown long and distinguished service to the Catholic Church and to the Papal office. It was the highest Papal decoration that could be awarded to women.
