The League Bloggers Awards (LBA) has named Bendel Insurance duo of Imade Osarenkhoe and Amas Obasogie to a six-man shortlist for February’s Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) Player of the Month award.
It is the duo’s second consecutive monthly nomination since the league’s resumption in January.
Although having only been promoted to the elite league this season, the Benin team has continued to put up an amazing performance, which has them comfortably atop Group A of the abridged league.
Lobi Stars’ Joseph Atule received a second nomination in the monthly awards for his performance in the month under review, which aided his club’s surge to the top of Group A.
