El-Kanemi
Warriors head coach Ladan Bosso and Abia Warriors striker Sunday Adetunji were
named Nigeria Professional football League (NPFL) Manager and Player for February respectively by the League Bloggers
Awards (LBA) on Thursday.
Bosso has
been awarded the February LBA manager recognition after his team El-Kanemi
Warriors had a near excellent run in the month under review in the Nigerian top
flight.
Four wins
out of five matches in February, including a 1-0 success at Abia Warriors,
proved to be enough for Bosso to claim the manager's accolade ahead of Akwa
United's Abdu Maikaba, Fidelis Ilechukwu of MFM FC and Abubakar Bala of Niger
Tornadoes.
Victories
against seven-time NPFL winners Enyimba, Gombe United, Abia Warriors and
Nasarawa United with a 0-2 loss at Plateau United in between put Bosso and his
team ahead of other competitors in February and helped them claim 12 points out
of the 15 available.
Adetunji was
picked for LBA Player of the month for February from a shortlist of four
players that featured El-Kanemi's Samuel Mathias, Ernest Governor of ABS FC and
Moses Ebiye of Akwa United.
The forward
was a bright spot for Abia Warriors in February as he scored four goals in five
appearances. His goalscoring performance accounted for all of his club's goals
in the month under review.
The former
3SC man scored for Abia Warriors against Gombe United, Sunshine Stars, Nasarawa
United and Akwa United. The only time he fired blanks in February was in the
home game against El-Kanemi Warriors.
Adetunji and
Bosso will be presented their awards for February in the coming days by the
LBA.
