With a commanding seven-point lead at the top and only 12 points left to play for, Remo Stars will be crowned champions if they defeat Niger Tornadoes in their next match — a potential title-winning fixture on home soil.

Former Super Eagles captain Ahmed Musa opened the scoring in the 64th minute, and Rabiu Ali doubled the lead with a composed penalty in the 75th minute, sealing a vital win for the Kano side — and handing Remo a golden opportunity.
All eyes now shift to Ikenne this weekend, where Remo Stars could complete their fairytale season with a historic victory against Niger Tornadoes — a win that would write their name into the NPFL history books.
