From results posted on the official social media pages of the League Management Company, Kano Pillars recorded an emphatic win over Nembe City in Kano while Enyimba could not capitalize on the troubles in the camp of Hosts Dolphins in Port Harcourt.
The Aba Elephants would walk away with a single point after seeing a run of 4 straight wins heading into the Liberation clash.
Meanwhile, Mohamed Baba Ganaru, who led Pillars to their second consecutive title last term would have stood an outside chance of benefiting from the Enyimba/Pillars Match Day 38 clash with his Nasarawa United team playing away to 8th placed Enugu Rangers. The match however ended in a disappointing goalless draw for the visitors who had hoped to move within a shot at the title on 59 points with a date against Warri Wolves a week later.
Effectively, with the results from across the 10 centers Kano Pillars would almost certainly be crowned Champions of the 2013-14 NPFL season pending the LMC’s announcement.
