Six players have been nominated for the Nigeria Premier Football League Player of the Month award for December.<\/p>\n

The players shortlisted are Ahmed Jimoh (Gombe United), Albert Hilary (Plateau United), Jide Fatokun (Remo Stars), Samson Obi (Abia Warriors) and Yusuf Abdullahi (Kano Pillars).<\/p>\n

In-form winger, Abdullahi Yusuf netted five goals during Kano Pillars 5-2 win against Gombe United on matchday 11 fixture in Kano.<\/p>\n

Forward Albert Hilary netted six goals for Plateau United.<\/p>\n

Veteran forward, Sikiru Alimi continued his goal-scoring feat for Remo Stars in the league.<\/p>\n

Alimi extended his goal tally to 11 goals in the month.<\/p>\n

Gombe United, Ahmed Jimoh\u2019s contribution from the midfield has not gone unnoticed, despite the team\u2019s lack of motivation from the state government.<\/p>\n

Jimoh has registered four goals for the Savannah Scorpions this season.<\/p>\n

Samson Obi scored four goals for Abia Warriors in the month, which paved the way for his nomination in the month.<\/p>\n

Jide Fatokun\u2019s composed showing in Remo Stars midfield has yielded good results for the team.<\/p>\n

He featured in all six matches for the Sky Blue Stars in their bid to win a first NPFL title.<\/p>\n

Remo Stars currently top the standings with 29 points.<\/p>\n

The winner of the award will be announced next week.<\/p>\n
