The 2025 Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) awards ceremony will be held today at the Blue Springs hotel in Abuja.

Ahead of the awards which will officially crown Nasarawa United forward Yusuf Anas as the highest goal scorer of the 2024/25 season, the organisers said they have perfected plans for the ceremony.

NPFL Chairman, Otunba Gbenga Elegbeleye, explained that the award was conceptualised to reward exceptional performances and promote excellence.

“We are working to expand award categories to capture other positions including the best supporting fan clubs”, Elegbeleye stated.

“We also have plans to make the award more elaborate by way of adding entertainment value to the event beyond presentation of rewards,” he added.

nas topped the scorers chart with 17 goals for Nasarawa United while Daniel Ogunmodede led Remo Stars to their first ever NPFL title.

The award comes with a monetary reward of N2m each and some former league stars and leading football administrators are expected at the event.

Meanwhile, it will be recalled that in June, Nasarawa United striker Yusuf was on the verge of receiving N3.6m cash reward from Eunisell before the NPFL board stopped the award sponsors.

According to the NPFL, Eunisell who had organised the Golden Boot Award in the past was engaging in unathourised use of its official name.

While acknowledging the intent behind awarding Yusuf with N3.6 million, Elegbeleye emphasized the importance of due process.
