The Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) has recognized the outstanding performances of two individuals from the 2024/25 season with cash awards of ₦2 million each.
Nasarawa United striker Anas Yusuf and Remo Stars head coach Daniel Ogunmodede were honored for their exceptional contributions to the league.
Anas Yusuf finished the 2024/25 season as the NPFL’s top scorer, netting 18 goals for Nasarawa United.
His impressive performance earned him the recognition and reward from the NPFL.
Daniel Ogunmodede led Remo Stars to a historic first NPFL title, guiding the team to 71 points and becoming the first privately-owned club from the South-West to lift the league trophy since 2000.
His achievement was recognized by the NPFL, and he received the Coach of the Year award.
NFF Secretary General Dr. Mohammed Sanusi at ceremony said : “The league is improving week in and week out. Every day, I receive not less than 20 invitations from clubs abroad. Instead of castigating our league, let us support and rally around it because the growth is obvious. The NFF fully supports what the NPFL board is doing.”
NPFL Chairman Otunba Gbenga Elegbeleye said “We continue to work around the teething issues that could disrupt the smooth running of the league. Over the last three years, we’ve been able to start and finish the season as scheduled. This consistency has built confidence from the private sector, which is now willing to work with us. Our dream is to raise the quality and standard of the NPFL, ultimately increasing revenue for clubs and organisers.”
Anas Yusuf was elated to be recognized by NPFL
His words:”I’m happy to be recognised by the NPFL. This award motivates me to push harder, and I hope to surpass my goal-scoring record from last season, hopefully scoring more than 20 goals.”
