The technical adviser of Nasarawa United has reiterated his side’s determination to remain firmly in the hunt for the Nigeria Professional Football League title, despite facing an uphill task with only three matches left in the season.
The Solid Miners reignited their faltering title ambitions with an emphatic 3-0 victory over Warri Wolves last weekend. The convincing win not only halted a concerning dip in form but also arrived at a pivotal stage of the campaign, restoring belief within the squad and technical crew.
However, the Lafia-based side still trails league leaders Rangers International and second-placed Rivers United on the standings. With the margin for error now non-existent, every point gained or dropped could ultimately determine the destination of the title.
Speaking after the victory, the coach acknowledged the pressure from rivals maintaining their own winning momentum, but insisted his side would not concede defeat prematurely.
“We are concerned that our title rivals are also winning their matches, including difficult away fixtures,” he admitted. “But we still have important work ahead in these final three games if we are to achieve our objective.”
The coaching staff has intensified preparations, focusing on critical aspects such as game management, set-piece execution, and mental resilience—factors that often prove decisive in tightly contested title races.
For Nasarawa United, the equation is straightforward but demanding: secure maximum points from their remaining fixtures while hoping for slips from their rivals. While the odds may be stacked against them, the belief within the camp remains unshaken as they prepare for a dramatic season finale.
