Governor Peter Mbah of Enugu State has described the triumph of Enugu Rangers in the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) as “the reenactment of the greatness that Enugu is known for”.
After recording 20 wins, 7 draws, and 10 defeats, Enugu Rangers won the 2023-2024 NPFL title with 67 points in 37 games.
They sealed the title for the 8th time in their history and the second time since 2016 after beating Bendel Insurance Football Club at the Nnamdi Azikiwe Stadium, Enugu, on Sunday with a 2-0 scoreline.
Enugu Rangers sealed the victory thanks to Kenechukwu Agu’s strike in the 33-minute, and Chidiebere Nwobodo’s strike in the 65-minute.
The NPFL triumph became sacrosanct for coach Fidelis Ilechukwu and his boys after their major rivals, Remo Stars lost 2-1 to Sunshine, and Enyimba Football Club lost 2-1 to Sporting Lagos.
After Rangers conquered the NPFL, governor Peter Mbah told reporters that the club’s victory means that the future of the state is finally here.
I can tell you that the government and people of Enugu State are very excited. What we have witnessed here this evening is the reenactment of the greatness that Enugu is known for”, he said.
