Obaje Wins NPFL Top Scorer


Godwin Obaje of Wikki Tourists has emerged as the top scorer of the 2015/2016 Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) season.

He had a total of 18 goals despite his inability to score in the team’s final day 2-0 victory against Sunshine stars on Sunday.

Wikki who could not stay at the table for long after many weeks giving room for Enugu rangers to win the title.

According to Obaje during his talks with Supersport said, “Compared with last season we missed the continental ticket with some whiskers on goal difference, this season is hugely a successful one.

“I set out two targets at the start of the season to win the league title and the highest goal scorer award,”

“I’m not disappointed that we did not win the league crown though it would have made our day to be complete but I’m happy I achieved the individual award as well as a ticket to the continent.

“The final day clash 2-0 win against Sunshine Stars greatly helped us to the third finish and Confederation Cup ticket in the kitty.

“Generally, the out gone season is quite a good one for us,” Obaje said.
