Lookman won the Ballon d'Or on Monday.
He said: “I must thank all the presidents, teammates and teams of all the countries I have played in and who have given me the affection needed to rise to the top of African football.
“Thanks also to my family, to my country and to everyone who voted me the best player on the continent. It has been an incredible year, I am very proud of what I have done.”
“I want to say to everyone, young and old: don't clip your wings, turn pain and suffering into opportunities and keep dreaming. Thank you all!”
