Head coach of Akwa United, Paul Offor, has reiterated that the club’s primary objective this season is to secure promotion back to the top flight of Nigerian football, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

The Promise Keepers, currently competing in the Nigeria National League (NNL), are pushing to return to the elite Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) after dropping down to the second tier.

Speaking to the club’s media, Offor emphasized the importance of maintaining focus as the season approaches its decisive stage.

“The remaining six matches are very crucial for us and we cannot afford to be complacent. We must remain focused and ensure we make the most of our chances,” Offor said.

He added that the team must maintain consistency in their performances in order to sustain their push for promotion.

“We are not yet where we want to be, and we have to sustain our current momentum by showing consistency in our performance.

“We have reached a stage in our campaign where we must approach every match like a cup final. 

"We cannot gamble with our chances. We must be fully prepared to fight and win together because our objective is to finish the season strongly.”

Akwa United will continue their promotion chase when they face Osun United in their next league fixture.
