Governor Mbah congratulates Rangers on ninth NPFL title

Enugu State Governor Peter Mbah celebrated Rangers International FC's ninth Nigeria Premier Football League title, marking their second championship under his administration. The governor lauded the team's achievement, stating they have made the state proud and "etched their names in gold by walking the path of legends."

“

On behalf of the Government and good people of Enugu State, I convey our profound congratulations to you on your well-deserved and hard-fought ninth league title, the second under our administration.

Rangers clinched the 2025/2026 NPFL trophy on Sunday after a 2-1 victory over Ikorodu City FC in Lagos. This win secured them 68 points, narrowly ahead of Rivers United, who finished with 67 points. The triumph brings back a coveted title to Enugu, which the governor described as restoring the state's reputation as a "hub of champions."

“

You have not only brought back the title, which you won in the 2023/2024 season, but also restored the glory of Enugu as the incubator and hub of champions.

Governor Mbah highlighted the win as a significant reward for his administration's investments in the club. He also noted that the victory serves as a morale booster for Enugu as it prepares to host the 27th National Sports Festival in November.

“

You have reenacted the heroics of Rangers of old and walked the path of our revered legends.
