Despite the team failing to defend the NPFL title, Enyimba still had something to celebrate when the curtains came down for the 2023/24 season as their star forward, Chijioke Mbaoma clinched the top scorer title.

Mbaoma netted 17 goals, narrowly edging out his closest rival, Sikiru Alimi of Remo Stars, by just two goal.

It was a photo finish in the top scorers’ race heading into the final matchday, with Mbaoma leading by just a goal.

In a decisive moment, the Enyimba forward scored against Plateau United, cementing his lead.

Mbaoma’s goals were instrumental in Enyimba securing their place in the CAF Confederation Cup for next season.
