Nasarawa United Chairman Solomon Babanjah, has demanded improvement from the team in the remaining fixtures this season.

The Solid Miners have managed only one win from their last four league matches.

Nasarawa United suffered a 1-0 defeat to bottom club Kun Khalifat FC at the Lafia City Stadium last weekend.

Babanjah described the team’s recent poor run of form as a disappointment.

“”These are crucial periods for any serious-minded team in the league, and the slightest mistake could be very costly,” Babanjah told the club’s media.

“We acknowledge that our performance fell woefully short of the high standards we have set for ourselves.

“As a team, we must let go of the ugly past and focus on the task ahead. We must bring smiles on our faces and our great supporters again. Nobody is happy, not at all!.”

Nasarawa United will be up against El-Kanemi Warriors in their next league match this weekend in Maiduguri.
