Rivers State Commissioner of Sport, Boma Iyaye has congratulated Enugu Rangers for emerging champions of the Nigeria Professional Football (NPFL) league.

Iyaye also lauded the runners up of this season’s NPFL, Rivers United for ‘pushing Rangers all the way’ while expressing belief that the two clubs will give Nigeria creditable representation in next season’s CAF Champions League.

“I want to congratulate Enugu Rangers for emerging champions of the NPFL for the first time in 32 years.
