Rivers Angels have announced the signing of talented duo Taiwo Ajibade and Taiwo Aganmuyi, bolstering their squad ahead of the highly anticipated 2025 Nigeria Women Football League (NWFL) season. The former NWFL champions unveiled the pair, alongside 12 other players, in a ceremony on Sunday.

Ajibade and Aganmuyi, both formerly of Sunshine Queens, inked two-year contracts with Rivers Angels. The dynamic duo played pivotal roles for Sunshine Queens last season, and their contributions didn’t go unnoticed, earning them a move to one of the league’s most prestigious teams.

In a joint statement, the players expressed heartfelt gratitude to their former club for shaping their football journey. “Sunshine Queens will always remain an important part of us,” they said. “The experience we gained there has made our transition to another big team seamless.”

Strengthening the Squad for Glory

Rivers Angels’ acquisition of Ajibade and Aganmuyi highlights their intent to reclaim the NWFL crown. Known for their skill, versatility, and teamwork, the pair bring experience and a winning mentality to the Angels. This move is part of a broader squad overhaul aimed at ensuring the team remains competitive on all fronts in the upcoming season.

The Angels’ management emphasized their commitment to assembling a title-contending squad, and the addition of Ajibade and Aganmuyi is seen as a significant step in that direction.

Opinion: A Smart Move for Rivers Angels

The double signing is a testament to Rivers Angels’ knack for identifying and securing top talent. Ajibade and Aganmuyi not only bring proven quality but also embody the grit and determination needed to succeed at the highest level.

With their new signings, Rivers Angels are sending a clear message: they mean business this season. The question now is whether the team can gel quickly and translate their ambition into silverware. For Ajibade and Aganmuyi, it’s an opportunity to shine on a bigger stage and further cement their legacy in Nigerian women’s football.
