The club made the move just weeks before the 2025/26 NPFL season kicks off — and no be coincidence, abeg. With transfer buzz already heating up around several players, locking in talent like Abiola early is a smart play.

The 21-year-old made his senior debut last season and even though he only featured in two league games, sources around the club claim his work rate and composure in training caught major attention from head coach Daniel Ogunmodede.

Omo this guy quietly dey rise oo. Just two appearances and see as him don secure fresh contract.

The Sky Blue Stars had a dramatic title-winning campaign last season, and Abiola was part of the squad that made history for the Ikenne-based side. While he wasn’t the first-choice goalkeeper, his presence in the squad and growth under pressure reportedly impressed the coaching crew.

According to insiders, Abiola is now expected to feature more regularly when the new season begins on Friday, August 22, 2025. If all goes well, fans might be seeing a new NPFL star in the making.

This contract renewal also sends a message — Remo Stars are building for the future, not just celebrating past success. With continental competitions also on the horizon, depth in key positions like the goalpost is crucial.

For Abiola, this is a big moment. The spotlight may not have been fully on him last season, but from all indications, his time to shine is coming. Whether he’ll rise to the occasion? That’s what fans are waiting to see.
