Kano Pillars Win Back-To-Back Nigeria Premier League Title

Kano Pillars have successfully defended their Glo Premier League title, even though they were defeated 2-0 by Lobi Stars.


Barnabas Imenger's brace helped the Makurdi side to a comfortable home win, which ensured they will not be relegated this season.

Pillars however went on to win the league, as their closest contenders also lost their final matches of the season – Bayelsa United and El Kanemi Warriors were both beaten 1-0, by Gombe United and Enugu Rangers respectively.

Eyinmba football club of Aba came a close second, while Bayelsa United came a close third too.

The winner of the Nigeria Premier League was just too close to call.

But all the same, congratulations to Kano Pillars who clinch home a prize money of N10m and will also represent Nigeria at the CAF Champions League later.
