Mangut Celebrates Another Win
Mangut said it’s a thing of joy to continue their impressive run.
“It’s a thing of joy to get the maximum points, either home or away,” Mangut told the club’s media.
“After drawing their last home game, Bendel Insurance were all out, aggressively searching for the maximum points today.
“But we kept on resisting and pushing toward the last minutes of extra-time, and we got the goal.
“I am so happy with the performance of my boys – all credits to them.
“We started slowly in today’s game, but we adjusted as the game progressed, and the changes we effected in the second-half made a lot of differences.”
Motivation From The Top
Mangut also thanked the club’s hierarchy for their massive support.
“We are highly motivated from all rounds, starting with self-motivation, the push from our sports-loving Governor, Engr. Abdullahi Sule, the Honourable Commissioner for Youth and Sports Development, Kwanta Yakubu, and the Club’s Management led by Solomon Babanjah, not forgetting our wonderful supporters, the local Football Association, fans, and others,” added Mangut.
“Concerning our next game against Rangers in Lafia, next weekend, we approach every game with the respect it deserves. We hope to maintain our momentum, going forward.”
