Nasarawa United coach, the technical crew on performance ultimatum
Reacting to the club's performance, the Nasarawa State Government - sole owners of Nasarawa United stated they are being forced to come up with a compulsory measure to get the club to perform.
"Going by the results from our pre-season, we believed we have enough quality in the squad and Technical-know-how to finish among the top three from our Group," the state's sports commissioner Lucky Isaac Yargwa, said during an emergency meeting on Monday.
"But from recent outings in the league where we have lost all three games so far played, there is the urgency to do the needful before it becomes too late.
"Absorbed, we may be playing our home games away from home due to the repair works on our stadium. But we had done well in such conditions in the past.
"Consequently, we are placing the Management and Coaching Staff of the Club on a three-match requisition, beginning from the Club's next match away to Gombe United FC, on Sunday, 29th January.
"This is the practice, the world over, and not a witch-hunt. It's to set the records straight and get a reward for Government's huge investment in the team and reward the support of the teaming supporters", the Commissioner stressed.
Nasarawa United's schedule
