Dr. Peter Mbah Congratulates Rangers on 2023/24 NPFL Title
Governor of Enugu State, Dr. Peter Mbah, has congratulated Rangers International Football Club of Enugu for winning the 2023/24 Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) title with a game to spare. The victory was secured following their 2-0 win over Bendel Insurance Football Club at the Nnamdi Azikiwe Stadium, Enugu, on Sunday.
Kenechukwu Agu scored the first goal in the 33rd minute, followed by Chidiebere Nwobodo’s goal in the 65th minute. This victory, under the guidance of coach Fidelis Ilechukwu, handed the team their eighth league title and their second since 2016.
Rangers’ triumph was further cemented as their closest rivals, Remo Stars and Enyimba Football Club, both lost their match-day 37 fixtures 1-2 against Sunshine Stars and Sporting Lagos, respectively. This left the Flying Antelopes with an unassailable 67-point lead with one game remaining.
Governor Mbah highlighted the importance of sports infrastructure in the team’s success. He noted, “Of course, you would attest to the fact that getting our pitch back in shape immediately we assumed office to enable Rangers to play their home matches here at The Cathedral was a huge motivation for the players.”
