Gov. Mbah to Receive League Bloggers’ Legacy Award

The League Bloggers Awards (LBA) has announced that its prestigious LBA Legacy Award for Governors will be presented to the Executive Governor of Enugu State, His Excellency Dr. Peter Ndubuisi Mbah. The award recognizes his exceptional leadership, visionary support, and unwavering commitment to the growth of the Rangers International Football Club brand.

Governor Mbah is the first-ever recipient of the LBA Legacy Award for Governors, a landmark honour created to celebrate state governors whose contributions have significantly impacted the development of Nigerian clubs and the league.

The award acknowledges Governor Mbah’s inspiring role in Rangers International Football Club’s historic triumph, as the club secured its ninth Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) title and its second in three years under his administration.

His administration provided critical funding, motivation, and institutional support that empowered both players and officials to achieve this remarkable feat and restore Rangers to the summit of Nigerian football.

In addition, his commitment extended to creating opportunities for sustainable growth and supporting private‑sector involvement in the club’s commercial activities. This led to sponsorship of Rangers’ jersey real estate by Afrinvest West Africa and Nortra Tractors & Equipment, thereby strengthening the club’s brand and financial outlook.

Speaking on the award, LBA Co‑Founder and CEO Ojeikere Aikhoje said:

“Governor Peter Mbah’s commitment to Rangers International FC goes beyond traditional government support. His vision, strategic investments, and encouragement of private‑sector participation have contributed immensely to the club’s success and long‑term sustainability.”

“As the first recipient of the LBA Legacy Award for Governors, he represents the standard of leadership that drives sporting excellence and inspires future generations.”

The League Bloggers Awards remains committed to recognising individuals and institutions whose efforts continue to elevate the standards of the Nigerian league.

The presentation of the award will take place at The Cordis Hotel, Ikeja, Lagos, on Wednesday, July 8, 2026.

The League Bloggers Awards (LBA) is Nigeria’s foremost independent football recognition platform dedicated to celebrating excellence, achievement, and outstanding contributions within the Nigerian football league ecosystem.

Through its annual awards programme, LBA honours players, coaches, administrators, clubs, and stakeholders who have made significant impacts on the development of the league.
