Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) side Nasarawa United have drawn up a campaign to help the club reposition ahead of the coming season.
The Solid Miners finished in sixth place last season with 56 points, four off continental places and that have led to “a high-level strategic engagement” among the top hierarchy.
Nasarawa State Commissioner for Youth and Sports Development, Honourable Kwanta Yakubu believes the club would have “finished on the table better than where they ended last season” owing to some hitches.
He passed a vote of confidence on the Nasarawa United management for being “consistent and focused.”
”I see the passion, the unity, the love, and sincerity of purpose among members of the board concerning Nasarawa United. You have been consistent and focused, despite hues from some quarters to rejig the board, which after our reviews, it is not necessary to disband the board of the club which is already succeeding.
”Nasarawa United would have finished on the table better than where they ended last season, if not for some hitches, but I believe we can do better, going forward.
Nasarawa United chairman, Solomon Babanjah, revealed the club’s preparation for the new season and asked for the state government’s support to navigate through the season successfully in the NPFL and President Federation Cup.
The new NPFL season is expected to kick off on August 28 and Nasarawa United will know their opening matchday opponents this Friday.
