Nasarawa United Signs New Players Amidst Challenges

Nasarawa United is facing a tumultuous season in the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) as they currently sit at the bottom of the standings. The club has encountered significant setbacks, including a ₦3 million fine, a deduction of three points and three goals, and a mandate to play home matches behind closed doors due to fan misconduct. This misconduct included an assault on match referee Musibaudeen Ibrahim during a game against Rivers United.

Despite these challenges, Nasarawa United is making a bold move to revitalize their squad by unveiling eight new players ahead of the second round of the NPFL, which resumes on January 25, 2025. The new signings are expected to inject fresh energy into the team as they aim to improve their league position. Among the new recruits are Benson Abbey from Shooting Stars, Peace Dewan from Sunshine Stars, Abubakar Aliyu also from Shooting Stars, Solomon Chigozie from Kwara United, Peter Eneji from Busaiteen FC of Bahrain, Ugochukwu Leonard from Heartland FC, Benjamin Jack from Golden Boot FC, and Onyema Emmanuel from Ikorodu City FC.

Technical Director Kabir Dogo has expressed optimism regarding the new signings, believing they will enhance the team's competitiveness in the league. Currently, Nasarawa United has accumulated only 16 points from 19 games, making the upcoming matches crucial for their survival in the league. Their first match of the second half of the season will be against Katsina United at the Lafia City Stadium, which will remain closed to fans until security measures are improved.
