Editorial
Remo Stars’ rise to the top of the NPFL table highlights the team’s strong form and ambition this season. Their 2-0 win away at Kano Pillars is a statement of intent, showing they are capable of securing important results both at home and on the road. With nine points from their opening three matches, Remo Stars are now firmly established as early contenders in the league.
The contributions from Sodiq Ismail and Franck Mawuena underscore the depth of talent within the squad. For a club with ambitions of competing at the highest level in Nigerian football, these early victories will be crucial in building momentum as the season progresses.
On the other hand, teams like Heartland FC and Sunshine Stars are struggling to find their rhythm. Heartland, under the guidance of Emmanuel Amuneke, will need to step up their performances if they are to challenge for higher positions in the NPFL.
