Kano Pillars have successfully defended their Nigeria Premier
League title having emerged champions of the 2012/13 season
despite going down to a 2-0 defeat to Lobi Stars in their last
game of the current campaign.
The 2-0 defeat suffered in Makurdi nonetheless, Pillars
finished top of the log with 63 points while Enyimba finished
close second with 62 points after beating Sharks FC 1-0 in Aba.
Bayelsa United sneaked in third place with 61 points and El-
Kanemi Warriors came fourth with 60 points.
This is Pillars third league championship, and they along with
Enyimba will represent Nigeria in next year's CAF Champions
League.
Pillars are the first club in 10 years to win back-to-back titles
since Enyimba did same in 2001/2002 & 2002/2003.
At the bottom, the trio of ABS FC, Kwara United and Wikki
Tourist join already relegated Shooting Stars in the lower
division for the coming season.
