From Enyimba to Bendel Insurance, these are not just random names — these boys have something to prove.

The new signings are: Adekunle Samuel, Philip Ogwuche, Uche Collins, Adiku Moses, Bashir Usman, Innocent Arigu, and Azeez Falolu. According to the club’s official Facebook Page, the deals have all been finalized, and the players are already integrated into the team’s preseason activities.

Now here’s the gist:

• Adekunle Samuel arrives from Kwara United
• Philip Ogwuche makes the move from Abia Warriors
• Uche Collins switches from Bendel Insurance
• Adiku Moses, Bashir Usman, and Innocent Arigu all joined from top NPFL sides: Enyimba, Rangers, and Sunshine Stars respectively
• And Azeez Falolu? Omo! He’s coming straight from Libya’s Alnaser Zliten, returning to rejoin the Chanji Boys.

This kind of blend — home-based talents and a returning foreign-based player — shows Katsina United are not playing games this season.

Their first real test? A fiery opener against Warri Wolves at the Muhammadu Dikko Stadium this August. Fans are already buzzing with anticipation, especially as expectations are high following last season’s inconsistent performances.

Whether this new lineup will deliver the goods remains to be seen, but from the energy online and the players’ profiles, Katsina United fans are dreaming big.

Omo! If they click early, some clubs fit collect back-to-back.

📌 Quick Facts:

• Total Signings: 7
• Foreign-Based Returnee: 1 (Falolu)
• Fixture to Watch: Katsina United vs Warri Wolves
• Venue: Muhammadu Dikko Stadium
• Season Starts: August 2025

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.
