Right from the end of last season we have not rested on our oars, we have been preparing to bolster the club towards the very competitive NPFL. We understood that we have to roll our sleeves and work assiduously if we can compete alongside well armed teams in the NPFL.
"We set the ball rolling by recruiting an internationally-acclaimed tactician as Technical Adviser, Coach Manu Garba, OON gained repute by winning for Nigeria the FIFA U-17 Championships in charge of the Golden Eaglets.

The presence of Manu Garba, OON invariably lured competent players to join the team, today we have been able to complete the signing of 12 new players, these players were carefully selected to compliment the squad and to strengthen the team. We can boldly assure our teeming fans that we are good to go."
