Nasarawa United suffered a defeat at home to the El-Kanemi Warriors on Saturday.

Bala Nikyu has resigned as the coach of Nasarawa United after his side suffered a defeat to El-Kanemi Warriors on Saturday at the New Jos Stadium.

Bala spent three seasons at the helm of affairs as the head coach of the Lafia-based club.

The former Super Falcons coach’s exit from the Solid Miners followed the team’s extremely poor results in the ongoing season.

He appreciated Nasarawa United and its magnificent fans for giving him the chance to serve and described Nasarawa United as a large and amazing club with so much to offer.

The Nasarawa United management, led by Isaac Danladi, has praised Coach Bala Nikyu's decision to resign and wished him luck in his future endeavors.

The management has announced that Samson Keshi Marwa, Balarabe Ibrahim, and Ibrahim Yahaya Sabo will serve as Head Coach Abubakar Arikya's assistants while he serves as Interim Technical Adviser until a formal Technical Adviser is appointed.

Danladi said, “This is not the best time for us as a club in the league. We thank the coach for his wisdom in stepping down from his role. Yes, the results are not what we ever envisaged, but we hope this is the best for both parties, going forward.

“We have only six league matches remaining, and we have a herculean task on our hands to stabilize the league. There is no better time to join forces than now. Everyone has to be at their best to ensure the highest possible result for our darling club and our teaming supporters.”

Nasarawa United will travel to Uyo for a date with Akwa United on Sunday for match day 13.
