Underlining the recent improvement in Akwa United’s performance, the club has garnered four points from their last two matches against Gombe United and Plateau United. The appointment of BabaGanaru is expected to capitalize on this momentum.

In a message directed to the players, Bassey commended their dedication and determination, urging them to continue their efforts to elevate Akwa United to its rightful position in Nigerian football. He also called upon the club’s supporters to remain steadfast in their backing of the team.

Coach Mohammed BabaGanaru brings a wealth of experience to his new role, having previously achieved success with various clubs in the NPFL, including winning the title with Kano Pillars. His past coaching stints include Nasarawa United, Wikki Tourists, Lobi Stars, and El-kanemi Warriors.
