Kabir Dogo of Nasarawa United has assured fans of the club that the team will survive the drop at the end of the season, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

The Solid Miners kicked off the second phase of the 2024/25 Nigeria Premier Football League campaign in style, earning a crucial 1-0 victory over a formidable opponent, Katsina United in a televised match at the Lafia City Stadium on Saturday afternoon.

Dogo said: "Congratulations to us all on today's win. No matter the scoreline, all that was needed was the full points; needless to say, the weather was just too unbearable for both teams.

 "Before the commencement of this half of the season, we spent a week in Jos and our new players easily adapted to our pattern of play, and that is helping us a lot, even though we played today's game without our loyal supporters and fans.

"Rest assured that the team will not go on relegation as being perceived in some quarters. "We will now shift our attention to our next match against Shooting Stars in Ibadan, and anything is possible from that venue in our favour."

With the final verdict on the three points deducted from the Solid Miners still pending, today's result means Nasarawa United have nineteen points, with Katsina United dropping to 14th position with 23 points.

The Solid Miners will next play Shooting Stars SC in Ibadan on Wednesday, 29th January 2025, at 5.30pm.
