Udoh achieved the feat when he netted twice on Sunday in Aba in the 3-1 win over league champions, Kano Pillars in a week 38 fixture.
The former Akwa United striker surpassed the all-time record of 20 goals goals set by Jude
Aneke three seasons ago.
Udoh opened the scoring for Enyimba which finished second on the log behind Pillars with 64 points, in the 18th minute while he doubled the lead before the stoppage time when he cashed in on the defensive blunder to beat goalkeeper Theophilus Afelokhai again.
He joined the hotshot race when he became the first player to score six goals (in his side's 6-0 win over Nembe City) in a single match in the Nigerian league.
It will be recalled the forward last season scored 15 goals for Akwa United before his move to the People's Elephant.
Former international and coach of Akwa United, Patrick Udoh was elated at the feat achieved by the striker saying: "Udoh has been a fantastic player all along and I congratulate him on this achievement. He is a player with a bright future".
Meanwhile, Enyimba following the victory equally bagged a CAF Champions League ticket with Pillars which retained the league title with 65 points, as Warri Wolves finished third with 61 points to bag the Confederation Cup ticket after a surprise 2-2 away draw with Nasarawa United at the Lafia Township Stadium.
Dolphins' Emem Eduok finished with 20 goals.
