Ranchers Bees FC have congratulated midfielder Tijani Kabiru on reaching the milestone of 100 appearances in the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL).

Kabiru achieved the landmark during Ranchers Bees’ 1-0 victory over nine-time league champions Enyimba in their Matchday 12 fixture of the 2026/27 season.

The Kaduna-based club celebrated the midfielder’s achievement in a post 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! 🖤💛,” the club wrote.

The milestone was made even more memorable by Ranchers Bees’ victory, secured through Chiedozie Jude Okorie’s late first-half long-range strike.

The result provided a significant boost for the Pride of Kaduna, who recently returned to the top flight, as they continued their push up the league table. Enyimba, meanwhile, remained in the lower part of the standings amid growing relegation concerns.

Kabiru previously won the NPFL title with Enyimba during the 2022/23 season and has maintained a positive relationship with the Aba-based club, even indicating that he does not celebrate goals scored against his former side.

The midfielder joined Ranchers Bees from Shooting Stars in August 2026, bringing valuable top-flight experience to the club as they rebuild following their return to the NPFL.

Reaching 100 league appearances represents a significant personal achievement for Kabiru and underlines his consistency in Nigerian top-flight football.
