Plateau United awarded 50 Million Naira as Champions of Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL)

Plateau United have emerged as the 2017 Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) champions after 38 games. Plateau United clinched the title on the final matchday with a 2-0 win over 2016 champions Enugu Rangers at the fully packed Rwang Pam Stadium on Saturday, September 9. The Kennedy Boboye side needed just a point to win the league but goals from Emeka Umeh in the 28th and Benjamin Turns in the second half ensured that the Jos-based side win their first NPFL title in their 42-year-old history.
