NPFL Honours Ogunmodede, Anas on September 2 in Abuja

Standout performers from the 2024/25 Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) season, Yusuf Anas and Coach Daniel Ogunmodede, are set to be honoured on Tuesday, September 2, in Abuja.

The award ceremony and reception were previously delayed due to the duo’s involvement in the preparations and participation of the CHAN Eagles team.

Otunba Gbenga Elegbeleye, Chairman of the NPFL, confirmed the new date, stating that the recognition aligns with the league’s commitment to promoting excellence through meaningful rewards.

‘It has been our policy to encourage players, coaches, and entire teams to elevate the quality of league football through outstanding performances,’ Elegbeleye said.

‘We have consistently rewarded our best club, top goal scorers, and best-performing coaches in partnership with our investment partner, GTI Asset Management and Trust Limited.’

Yusuf Anas, of Nasarawa United, emerged as the league’s top scorer with 17 goals, while Daniel Ogunmodede led Remo Stars to a historic title win, their first since the club’s founding.

Each award recipient will receive ₦1.5 million and a commemorative plaque in recognition of their achievements.
