Bala Nikyu is relieved after Nasarawa United picked its first win of the NPFL season, seven games into the campaign.
The Solid Miners defeated Kwara United 2-0 in a North-Central derby decided at the New Jos International Stadium on Saturday.
Former Nigeria junior international, King Osanga and Chinedu Ohanachom both got the goals for Nasarawa United.
“It’s never our wish to push the league to this extent before we start getting results, however, God’s time is the best,” Bala Nikyu told the press.
“It’s a good turnaround for us, and hopefully, God has opened the doors for us. This win is a huge morale boost for us to work more.
“At times, if results are not forthcoming, you wonder where the problems are coming from, and you begin to ask where you should start from.”
Nasarawa United now have four points from seven games, and continue their quest for a positive turnaround.
“Positive results cover a lot of things and we appreciate today’s outcome despite squandering lots of goal scoring chances. We want to build on this in subsequent matches.
Bala Nikyu also expressed support to the opposing manager Mohammed Abdulazeez, who quit his role on mutual consent following the defeat.
“Regarding the resignation of my colleague at Kwara United, Coach Azeez Muhammad, it’s quite unfortunate.
“He is good Coach. But this job of ours is quite hazardous, and you have to stand strong for unforseen situations.
“He did his best to get results for his team, but football is black and white. You can’t predict it.
“I feel he was not comfortable with the results and so decided to step down. I wish him well in his future endeavour.”
Nasarawa United will be on the road for a mid-week tie against Bendel Insurance at the Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium, on February 15, before wrapping up the first stanza of the league at home against Remo Stars FC, four days later.
