In a move to strengthen ties with the Nasarawa State Government, the Chairman of Nasarawa United FC, Solomon Babanjah, led the club’s new Technical Adviser, Salisu Yusuf, on a courtesy visit to the Deputy Governor, Dr. Emmanuel Agbadu Akabe. The meeting, which took place on Monday, saw the club's leadership engaging with the government to enhance support for the team.
The visit provided an opportunity for Nasarawa United’s management to reaffirm its commitment to maintaining a strong relationship with the state government. With the Deputy Governor currently acting as the Governor of Nasarawa State, the club saw this as a crucial moment to solidify its backing from the administration.
As part of the meeting, Chairman Solomon Babanjah presented Dr. Akabe with a customized Nasarawa United replica jersey. The symbolic gesture underscored the club’s dedication to fostering unity and collaboration while representing Nasarawa State in the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL).
Dr. Akabe warmly received the delegation and expressed his pleasure at the visit. He assured the club of the government’s unwavering support, emphasizing the importance of sports in the state’s development. The Deputy Governor commended Nasarawa United’s efforts to stay competitive in the NPFL and pledged continued assistance to help the team achieve its goals.
The meeting also served as an official introduction of the club’s new Technical Adviser, Salisu Yusuf, to the state’s leadership. Yusuf, who recently took charge of the team, is expected to bring his vast experience to bear as Nasarawa United fights to maintain its NPFL status.
Chairman Babanjah used the occasion to stress the club’s commitment to strengthening relationships with key stakeholders. He stated that Nasarawa United would continue to engage relevant authorities to ensure the team remains competitive in Nigerian football.
