Nasarawa State Governor Engineer Abdullah Sule has tasked the Management of Nasarawa United to keep working hard towards promotion to the apex league, the NPFL.

The charismatic Governor said this, after he watched the ‘Solid Miners’ defeat visitors Zamfara United in the opening match of the 2024 Nigeria National League at the newly refurbished Lafia City Stadium.

“We are happy to host the first game of the NNL. It means a lot to us that they are bringing the game all the way and from the way you see our boys playing, I think we have a very good team.

“Our target is to gain promotion back to the elite league, after last season’s disappointment.

“It’s not going to be an easy task, but we will work so hard to achieve that.” He said.
