The league organisers have run the rule on who deserved to be named the highest scorer in the just-concluded regular season

The League Management Company (LMC) has named Nasarawa United striker Ibrahim Sunusi as the highest scorer in the recently-concluded regular season of the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL).

Sunusi was tied with Akwa United's Mfon Udoh on 10 goals ahead of the Super Sixes playoffs, which start on Tuesday.

In reaching it's decision, the LMC said it relied on provisions in the rules and regulations guiding the competition as cited in Rule A9.4, A9.5-2, which stipulates the considerations in the event of a tie of two or more players.

Should more than one player finish the regular season on the same amount of goals, goals scored from the penalty spot is the first consideration, and disciplinary record is the second.
