Former Steelers Star’s Nigeria Mission Transforms Lives with Schools, Hospitals
Pittsburgh, PA – June 29, 2025A former Steelers standout has launched a transformative mission in his Nigerian hometown, leaving a lasting impact. His charitable efforts, rooted in gratitude for Pittsburgh, are reshaping lives, per ESPN.
The ex-offensive tackle’s philanthropy has brought education and healthcare to Nigeria. His work, inspired by his NFL journey, has ignited hope in a community unfamiliar with American football.
Chukwuma Okorafor, speaking on The Pivot Podcast, said, “Thanks to the Steelers, I’ve built over 50 schools and 4 hospitals in my hometown in Nigeria.” His efforts are monumental.
He added, “Most people there had never even heard of American football—until I built a field to help young kids dream of something bigger.” The field fosters ambition.
Okorafor, a 2018 third-round pick, played 77 games for Pittsburgh, starting 59. His $29.25 million contract fueled his Okorafor Foundation, funding schools and hospitals, per Steelers Depot.
Now with the Jets, Okorafor’s Nigerian roots drive his mission. His 2024 PFF grade of 60.1 didn’t deter his off-field impact, per Pro-Football-Reference.com, inspiring Steeler Nation.
The foundation’s work educates thousands and provides medical care. “Chukwuma’s changing lives,” a Lagos official said, per Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. His field introduces football to Nigerian youth.
As Steelers chase Super Bowl LX, Okorafor’s legacy shines beyond the gridiron. Will his mission inspire more NFL stars? Stay tuned to ESPN for updates.
