Ibrahim Dada, Chairman of Niger Tornadoes, has set an ambitious target for the team ahead of the 2024/25 Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) season. Dada has tasked the technical crew with achieving a top-five finish, a significant improvement from last season’s narrow escape from relegation.
Speaking to the media, Dada expressed his confidence in the team’s ability to meet the target, citing the recruitment of top talent as a key factor. “For the 2024-25 NPFL season, we have given the technical crew the target to finish among the top five,” he stated. “We have invited and recruited the best for the team to achieve our target.”
Niger Tornadoes will face Kwara United in their opening match of the season, a fixture that will set the tone for their campaign. With a revamped squad and a clear target in mind, the team will be looking to make a strong start and build momentum throughout the season.

Last season’s struggles are still fresh in the minds of the team’s fans, but Dada’s optimism and the recruitment of new players have injected a sense of hope and renewal. The top-five target is a challenging one, but it reflects the team’s ambition and desire to compete at the highest level.
The NPFL season promises to be highly competitive, with several teams vying for the title and continental spots. Niger Tornadoes will need to be at their best to achieve their target, but with the right mindset and preparation, they can make a significant impact.
