Eunisell, West Africa’s leading specialty chemicals and oilfield solutions company, will honour Anas Yusuf of Nasarawa United with the prestigious Eunisell Boot Award after he emerged top scorer in the 2024/25 Nigeria Premier Football League season with 18 goals.
The award ceremony will take place on Friday at the Radisson Blu Hotel, GRA Ikeja, Lagos, where Yusuf will be presented with a ₦3.6 million cash prize, calculated at ₦200,000 per goal—a hallmark of the Eunisell Boot’s reward structure.
Now in its seventh year, the Eunisell Boot has become one of the most coveted accolades in Nigerian football, shining a spotlight on the league’s top strikers and reinforcing corporate support for domestic talent.
“At Eunisell, we believe in excellence and performance — the core of our brand,” said Chika Ikenga, Group Managing Director of Eunisell. “The Eunisell Boot is not just an award; it’s our long-term commitment to rewarding hard work and developing Nigerian football. Anas Yusuf’s 18-goal haul is a testament to what happens when talent meets opportunity.”
Yusuf’s stellar performance not only earned him national recognition but also made him the second Nasarawa United player, after Sunusi Ibrahim (2019), to win the Eunisell Boot. His clinical finishing and consistency throughout the season have drawn praise from fans and analysts alike.
Since its inception in 2018, the Eunisell Boot has honoured some of the NPFL’s most prolific forwards, including: Junior Lokosa (2018 – Kano Pillars), Sunusi Ibrahim and Mfon Udoh (2019 – Nasarawa United and Enyimba), Israel Abia (2020 – Rangers) and Chijioke Akuneto (2022 – Rivers United).
This year’s edition is significant as Eunisell marks a decade of dedicated support to Nigerian football. Beyond the boot award, the company is also a key sponsor of Abia Warriors FC, reflecting its broader commitment to nurturing homegrown talent and driving the sport’s development from grassroots to professional levels.
“This year’s ceremony will be about more than celebrating one player,” Ikenga added. “It’s a milestone in our journey of using sports to inspire, invest in, and transform lives.”
