Super Eagles forward Ahmed Musa’s recent return to the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) has sparked interest among other top Nigerian players to follow suit. After rejoining Kano Pillars on a free transfer in October, Musa has impressed, scoring three goals and providing two assists in four appearances. His performances have inspired players like Brown Ideye, who is set to join Rivers United, as well as Super Eagles stars Alex Iwobi, Maduka Okoye, Fisayo Dele-Bashiru, and Frank Onyeka, who have expressed their desire to play in the NPFL.
Musa’s decision to return to the NPFL, alongside Shehu Abdullahi, has been praised by football figures like assistant coach Ahmed Omale and Dawaki Rangers captain Idris Musa Adinoyi. They commend Musa for his contribution to the league’s reputation and its potential to grow both locally and internationally. The return of prominent players to the NPFL is viewed as a positive development that boosts the league’s profile and serves as a way for players to give back to Nigerian football.
