Nigeria Women Football League giants Rivers Angels will begin their quest for another President Federation Cup title when they take on NAF Queens in the Round of 32 of the 2026 women’s competition on Monday.

The fixture, scheduled for Makurdi on May 25, is among several headline clashes released by the Nigeria Football Federation as the race for this year’s title gathers momentum across the country.

Former champions Rivers Angels are once again tipped among the favourites for the crown owing to their pedigree and experience in knockout competitions.

However, NAF Queens will be determined to spring a surprise and book a place in the Round of 16.

In Benin, newcomers Ghetto Tigers face a baptism of fire against reigning NWFL powerhouse Edo Queens in what promises to be one of the most difficult fixtures for any debuting side in the competition.

Edo Queens, who have consistently established themselves among the elite clubs in Nigerian women’s football, will be expected to assert their dominance, but cup competitions are often known for producing stunning upsets.

Another eye-catching encounter will see Bayelsa Queens confront Pace-setters Queens in Awka, while FC Robo Queens battle Rangers Women in Benin.

In Ibadan, Remo Stars Ladies will lock horns with Onimarg FC as both sides seek progression into the next round.

Heartland Queens are also set for action against Dragon Fury Ladies in Benin, while Ibom Angels square up against Fortress Ladies in Enugu.

Elsewhere, Delta Queens will tackle Royal Queens in Akure, Sunshine Queens face Solo Wonders in Awka, and Naija Ratels battle Mighty Jets Mata in Lafia.

The NFF stated that all Round of 32 fixtures will be played on May 25, 2026, across designated venues nationwide.

Vice-Presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, Rotimi Amaechi, is currently in closed-door meeting with former Sokoto State governor, Aminu Tambuwal.

The meeting reportedly follows the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, upload of Amaechi’s name and that of the party’s presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, on its website ahead of the 2027 general elections.

Recall that the ADC had officially announced Amaechi as the party’s vice-presidential candidate for the 2027 general election.

The visit came shortly after a Federal High Court sitting in Abuja on Thursday affirmed David Mark’s leadership of the African Democratic Congress, ADC.

At the time of filing this report, details of the meeting cannot be ascertained, but it is not unconnected to next year’s election.

Earlier, Amaechi had met with former Imo State Governor, Emeka Ihedioha.

“This President is doing miracles” – Akpabio hails Tinubu on road construction

Senate President Godswill Akpabio has commended President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for the massive road construction projects being executed across Nigeria.

Akpabio portrayed the President as “doing miracles,” while praising the remarkable pace at which the administration is completing and commissioning roads.

He made the remarks on Thursday, July 2, 2026, during the commissioning of the Old Keffi Road in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), stretching from Kado Fish Market to Dei-Dei.

“The performing President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu. I have not seen any President in Nigeria who, within his first, second, and third anniversaries, has commissioned the volume of projects this President has commissioned across the country,” Akpabio said.

He continued: “While we were on the road yesterday, we looked at the Gaduwa road which we commissioned; Nasarawa was a day before that.

“When I saw the miracle of touching Satellite Town, people came out just as you see here today — with joy and shouts. They could not believe what they were seeing,” he noted.

Listing several ongoing projects, Akpabio urged Nigerians to make future electoral support conditional on tangible performance and delivered projects.

“While we were there yesterday, another commissioning was going on in Nasarawa State — a major road — and the commencement of construction from Akwanga all the way to Jos in Plateau State. This President is doing miracles!

“So I think in Nigeria, we must now set a new standard for elections: ‘Show me your works and I will vote for you.’

People who are talking have been in government for a very long time — some for over 25 years — yet they cannot boast of anything.

“But in the case of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, start looking at his works from his days as Governor of Lagos until today,” he added.
