AWKA, Nigeria — Rangers International striker Godwin Obaje was formally recognised for reaching the landmark of 100 career goals in the Nigeria Premier Football League before the club’s match against Abia Warriors.
The forward was presented with a framed commemorative jersey on the pitch in a special ceremony acknowledging his achievement. The shirt, numbered 100 and bearing his name, marked a significant personal milestone for one of the league’s most consistent goalscorers.
Obaje has built a strong reputation as a reliable finisher over several seasons in the NPFL. His ability to find the net regularly has made him a key figure for Rangers and a constant threat to opposing defences. Reaching the century of league goals places him among a select group of players to have achieved the feat in the modern era of Nigerian domestic football.
The recognition came on a successful afternoon for the Flying Antelopes, who went on to defeat Abia Warriors 3-1. Obaje himself contributed to the victory by opening the scoring in the 37th minute, underlining his continued importance to the side.
Club officials, teammates and supporters joined in celebrating the milestone, highlighting both the player’s longevity and his consistent contribution to Rangers over the years. The presentation served as a reminder of the value of sustained excellence in the demanding environment of the NPFL.
Obaje’s achievement adds to the growing list of individual successes within the league this season and provides a positive backdrop as Rangers continue their campaign. The striker will now look to build on the landmark and add further goals as the season progresses.
