Ranchers Bees FC congratulated midfielder Tijani Kabiru on reaching 100 appearances in the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL), a milestone achieved during their 1-0 victory over Enyimba on Matchday 12 of the 2026/27 season.
The club posted on X (formerly Twitter) on November 9, 2026: “Congratulations to Tijani Kabiru on reaching 100 appearances in the NPFL during our victory over Enyimba. A special milestone. Well deserved, Kabiru! 🖤💛.”
Ranchers Bees defeated nine-time NPFL champions Enyimba 1-0. Chiedozie Jude Okorie scored the winner late in the first half with a long-range strike.
The result was a significant boost for Ranchers Bees (the Pride of Kaduna, recently returned to the top flight), helping them climb the table, while Enyimba remained in the lower reaches and deeper in relegation concerns.
Kabiru previously won the NPFL title with Enyimba in the 2022/23 season and has spoken positively about his time there (including not celebrating goals against them).
He joined Ranchers Bees from Shooting Stars in August 2026, bringing experience to a side rebuilding in the top flight after a long absence.
This 100-appearance mark is a notable personal achievement for a consistent midfielder in the competitive NPFL environment.
