In the biggest fixture, Enyimba secured a crucial 2-0 victory at home against struggling Kano Pillars. The win provides a vital lift for the People’s Elephant, who have endured a difficult run of form lately, allowing them to climb the standings.

Elsewhere, the home advantage proved decisive. Bayelsa United edged out Plateau United 2-1, while Rivers United maintained their momentum with a narrow 1-0 victory over Nasarawa United. Ikorodu City also claimed maximum points with a solid 2-0 win against Kun Khalifa.

The only away win came in a hard-fought contest as Abia Warriors defeated Niger Tornadoes 2-1. Meanwhile, two fixtures ended in goalless draws: Barau vs. Wikki Tourist and El Kanemi vs. Rangers, demonstrating the defensive resilience of the visiting sides.
