Plateau United have confirmed the departure of defender Wisdom Ndon, who has joined Libyan Premier League club Olympic Azzawiya. As reported by FootballInNigeria.com.ng, the move is the first time the defender will play his football outside Nigeria.
The Jos-based club announced the exit in a statement on its social media pages. It said Ndon had decided to pursue a new opportunity, which brought his time with the Peace Boys to an end.
Plateau United praised his professionalism, dedication and commitment, saying he conducted himself admirably on and off the pitch. The club wished him continued success as he starts the next chapter of his career.
A Quick Rise From Uyo
Ndon joined Plateau United from Akwa United on July 1, 2025, after spending three seasons with the Promise Keepers. He made his NPFL debut for Akwa United in 2022/23.
He played 32 league games for Akwa United in 2023/24 and 28 in 2024/25, scoring once in each season. At just 22, he leaves with 90 NPFL appearances and four goals to his name, according to Flashscore.

What It Means For Plateau United
The exit removes a regular from Plateau United’s back line. Ndon made 22 league appearances and scored twice last season, when the Peace Boys finished 10th.
This season has started better. Plateau United are third on 14 points after eight games, following a 4-0 win over Kano Pillars on Matchday 8.
Is a gap in defence a concern? Possibly, because the club will need a quick replacement. Squad depth is tested at moments like this.
