“We are on course. By the time the league kicks off, we will take it one after the other. We will tackle it as it comes. The ultimate trophy is my target. That is what everyone is targeting, that is what I want,” Onu told Completesports.com.
“Yes, the N150 million [prize money for NPFL 2023/2024 champions] can still go to Abia Warriors because the club is a brand, full of young boys. So we are ready.”
The former Heartland gaffer said that the Tico Select Preseason Tournament is a good ground for him to see areas that need attention in the team.
“From the matches we have played, we have seen some areas we need to rearrange, I think that is the essence of this. We need to see where we are getting it wrong and correct ourselves. As for where we are getting it right, we will improve on it,” Onu stated.
