Benedict Akwuegbu, a former Super Eagles forward and Consultant for Plateau United FC, recently showered praise on the team’s management for their remarkable 1-0 victory against Enyimba. The match held at the Enyimba International Stadium was crucial in securing Plateau United’s status in the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL).
Akwuegbu specifically highlighted the role of Habila Hosea Mutla, the General Manager of Plateau United FC, in guiding the team to success. He emphasized Mutla’s strategic decisions that steered the club away from relegation threats and ultimately led them to finish in 7th place with 54 points.
Reflecting on Plateau United’s challenging journey throughout the season, Akwuegbu recalled a pivotal moment when three points were deducted due to an incident during a match against Rangers. Despite this setback pushing them towards relegation territory, the team displayed resilience and determination. Their perseverance paid off as they clinched a crucial win over Enyimba on the final matchday.
“I humbly wish to salute Plateau United FC General Manager, Habila Hosea Mutla, for not only ensuring the club’s safety from relegation but also finishing the season on a strong note,”
expressed Akwuegbu appreciatively.
“Plateau United never relented. They kept pushing and eventually ended the season 7th on the table with 54 points after beating Enyimba 1-0 away from home.”
Governor Caleb Manasseh Mutfwang of Plateau State also received acknowledgment from Akwuegbu for his unwavering support towards Plateau United. The consultant expressed optimism about even greater backing in upcoming seasons and hinted at potential championship aspirations for the club under Governor Mutfwang’s leadership.
In a memorable feat, Plateau United stood out as the sole team to secure an away victory on the season’s closing day through Yusuf Abdullahi’s decisive goal in the 40th minute. Despite facing challenges that saw them reduced to ten men following Anthony Nwadioha’s dismissal, Plateau United showcased resilience and determination till the final whistle.
The triumph of Plateau United exemplifies teamwork, strategic planning by management, and unwavering support from stakeholders like Governor Mutfwang—key elements essential for sustained success in competitive leagues like NPFL.
