Ranchers Bees will host Enyimba at the Bako Kontagora Stadium in Minna on Sunday, November 8, as the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) enters Matchday 12.

The fixture, scheduled for a 4pm kick-off, will be played at a new venue after Ranchers Bees announced the change in a statement on Thursday.

Meanwhile, Plateau United have appointed Gideon Izang as their new General Manager as part of a management restructuring aimed at strengthening the club’s operations.

Izang previously served as the club’s Sporting Director before his promotion, while Dr Alhassan Yakmut will continue as chairman in an acting capacity until further notice.

Naija News gathered that Plateau United have recorded four wins, four draws and three defeats in 11 league matches this season.
