MBAH CONGRATULATES RANGERS FOR EMERGING
CHAMPIONS.
Governor Peter Mbah of Enugu State 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 congratulatory message followed the team’s 2-0
victory over Bendel Insurance Football Club at the Nnamdi Azikiwe Stadium,
Enugu, on Sunday.
A 33rd-minute goal by Kenechukwu Agu and a 65th-minute
goal by Chidiebere Nwobodo handed the Fidelis Ilechukwu-tutored lads their eighth
league title and their second since 2016.
Their closest rivals, Remo Stars and Enyimba Football
Club, lost their match-day 37 fixtures 1-2 each against Sunshine Stars and
Sporting Lagos.
Speaking with reporters on Sunday, Mbah said Rangers’
title win and display on the pitch were clear exciting reenactments of the
greatness Enugu State was known for. He assured that his government would
commit more resources toward sports development in the state.
