Rangers striker Godwin Obaje has taken the lead in the Nigeria Premier Football League's top scorers' chart. The 30-year-old netted his 11th goal of the season in Rangers' 2-0 victory over El-kanemi Warriors on Sunday. This impressive performance has propelled Obaje ahead of Daddy Abdulrahman of El Kanemi Warriors, Uche Collins of Katsina United, and Joseph Arumala of Ikorodu City, all of whom have scored 10 goals each.
Obaje's current lead at the top of the scorers' chart is a testament to his exceptional skills and consistency on the field. His ability to consistently score goals has made him a valuable asset to Rangers, who have now moved to the summit of the NPFL following their win over El-kanemi Warriors.
Obaje's previous experience as top scorer in the NPFL in the 2026 season has not gone unnoticed, and his current form suggests that he is on track to repeat this achievement.
Obaje's impressive goal-scoring record has also been matched by Victor Mbaoma, a former NPFL Goal King, who has scored nine goals so far.
The NPFL's top scorers' chart has become a closely watched metric in Nigerian football, with fans eagerly anticipating each new match to see who will emerge at the top. Godwin Obaje's impressive form has earned him a spot at the top, but it remains to be seen how long he can maintain this level of performance. As the NPFL season continues, Obaje's goal-scoring record will be closely monitored, and teams will be looking to catch up with him. The NPFL's top scorer is a coveted title, and Obaje's previous experience as top scorer in the 2026 season suggests that he has what it takes to win it again.
