•Super Eagles striker, Paul Onuachu

Super Eagles striker, Paul Onuachu, has won the Turkish Super Lig Goal of the Month award for the month of September, Soccernet.ng reports.

Onuachu has enjoyed a remarkable return to Turkish football this season. Recall that he played for Trabzonspor, on loan from Southampton two seasons ago. But at the end of the deal, he returned to England.

However, after many speculations, both clubs agreed on the permanent sale of the 31-year-old striker.

Since his permanent transfer, the Super Eagles striker has contributed seven goals and one assist in ten games for the Black Sea Storm.

And some of them have been bangers.

Benue State Governor, Hyacinth Alia, has dissolved the Board and Management of the state-owned Lobi Stars FC, Makurdi.

Lobi Stars FC were relegated last season after a 27-year stay in the Nigeria Premier Football League, following a run of poor performances.

The Chief Press Secretary to the governor, Sir Tersoo Kula, announced the governor’s approval of the dissolution in a statement issued on Thursday and made available to journalists in Makurdi.

The move was described as part of ongoing reforms to reposition the club for “greater efficiency, accountability, and better performance” in the Nigeria Premier Football League and other competitions.

The decision is aimed at repositioning the club for greater efficiency, accountability, and better performance in both the Nigeria Premier Football League and other competitions,” the statement read.

Governor Alia directed that “all members of the dissolved management should hand over all official documents, assets, and responsibilities to the Commissioner for Youth, Sports and Creativity with immediate effect.”
