**Consistency is Key: Akwa United Eyes Top Spot in Nigeria National League**
As the Nigeria National League (NNL) season reaches its midpoint, Akwa United's head coach, Paul Offor, has emphasized the importance of consistency for his team to maintain their position at the top of Conference B. With the season's second half underway, the pressure is on to build on their strong first-round performance and push for promotion to the Nigerian Professional Football League (NPFL).
Akwa United's next match against Rovers FC at the Uyo Township Stadium on Sunday is a crucial one, as they look to extend their winning streak against their neighbours. Their impressive 2-0 victory in the first leg has given them an edge, but Offor knows that consistency is the key to success. "We must start well and keep our focus throughout the season," he said. "Team building and bonding are also essential for our progress."
The introduction of six new players during the transfer window has boosted Akwa United's squad, with forwards Fredrick Obi and Dada Oladimeji, midfielders Nsikak Raphael, Kingsley Uduak, and Aniebiet Sunday, and defender Melvin Ebitimi joining the team. Offor believes these new signings will improve the squad's chances of winning the only promotion ticket in Conference B.
The coach has thanked the club's management for their support and urged fans to continue backing the team, promising a strong finish to the 2025-26 season. With the NPFL slot within reach, Akwa United's players and staff are working tirelessly to ensure that they make the most of their chances. As the season enters its final stretch, one thing is clear: consistency is the key to Akwa United's success.
In the highly competitive world of Nigerian football, it's not uncommon for teams to drop off the pace in the second half of the season. However, Offor's team is determined to buck this trend and push for promotion. With their sights firmly set on the top spot, Akwa United will be looking to maintain their winning momentum and prove that they have what it takes to succeed at the highest level.
