The transfer window opened in Nigeria at the end of the first round and the top contenders have been busy in a bid to strengthen their squads for the impending title race.
At the end of the first round, perennial champions, Enyimba, placed fourth behind Kano Pillars, Enugu Rangers and champions, Dolphins though the latter will play Wikki on Wednesday to determine who ends top of the standings.
Okwara left Nigerian side, Rangers for Adanaspor in 2011, after signing a two-and-half-year deal with second division side, Adanaspor, but has retraced his steps and is likely to debut for Enyimba at Rising Stars, on Saturday.
Enyimba gaffer, Austin Eguavoen, confirmed the development.
"We have identified goalscoring as our major problem, so we had to find solutions. That explains why Enyimba signed Okwara.
"Enyimba would have been on top of the log if our strikers had converted chances in most of the matches. We want to score goals in the second round since that's the only way we can win the league," the former World Cup star told SuperSport.com.
SuperSport.com learnt that the Aba side have also secured the services of two more strikers, Razaq Adegbite as well as Ifeanyi Okoye, from Rangers and Warri Wolves, respectively.
Adegbite scored thrice at Rangers.
The arrival of the trio means Enyimba will allow Ifeanyi Ede, continue his romance with rivals, Rangers, while Phillip Auta has since headed for Heartland.
