The talented forward netted four goals during the month, including a remarkable brace against Sunshine Stars at the iconic Sani Abacha Stadium in Kano. With this feat, Mustapha not only increased his season tally to seven goals but also reached a significant milestone of 60 career goals in the NPFL.

His remarkable contributions to Kano Pillars’ success have not gone unnoticed, earning him well-deserved recognition as the Player of the Month.
In a similar vein, Bayelsa United’s head coach, Meremu Okara, also made headlines by clinching the Coach of the Month award for the first time in his coaching career.
