The NWFL Premiership Player and Manager for the month of January have been revealed with two Nasarawa Amazons players, one player each from Rivers Angels and Edo Queens making the rounds.

Maryann Ezeanagu was also in superb form for Rivers Angels, scored important goals and was always a problem to the opponents defense, while Yemisi Samuel of Edo Queens also played an important role for her team in January.
In the Manager’s Category, four Managers, namely Wemimo Mathew of Edo Queens, Edwin Okon of Rivers Angels, Moses Aduku of Bayelsa Queens and Christopher Danjuma of Nasarawa Amazons all made the final cut for the monthly prestigious awards.
