Shuaibu Yakubu: ‘Our aim is to play in the NPFL – and we’re good enough to do it’



Shuaibu Yakubu the General Manager of Sporting Supreme Football Club believes his team possess all the necessary ingredients to challenge for promotion to the elite division this season.


With a resounding two goals to nil away victory over Adamawa United last week, the Supreme Boys are ready to continue with their winning ways, when they host their next opponent at home in Abuja.


The Abuja based club are title contenders as they prepare to face Sokoto United at the Bwari stadium on Friday 8th of March in Abuja.


Sporting Supreme FC current position on the league table is a testament to the strides Shaibu Yakubu side have made since the start of this season.


And Shuaibu Yakubu has seen enough across a promising start to suggest that he and his club can go on to engage other teams in a familiar battle for supremacy.


He said: “Our aim as a team is to win promotion to the NPFL and that mandate hasn't changed".


“We are in a really strong position and results and form-wise we are doing enough to stay as close as possible to the top of the table.


“The league isn’t won yet, there are still some games to play, but so far we’ve performed in a way that is how you would expect someone who can win the league to perform and if we carry this on we should win promotion at the end of the season.”


The super administrator and ex-while team's coordinator of the Future Eagles of Nigeria is calling on football lovers in Abuja to give Sporting Supreme FC the necessary support to return the city into an NPFL playing status.

"The reason why Ekiti State FA works and looks so beautiful is because Mr Bayo Lanlege the Ekiti FA chairman threw his hat in the ring and is leading from the front on matters of football development in Ekiti State without any subvention funding from the Government of Ekiti State." The sagacious Sports Physician asserts that Nigeria needs pragmatic leadership to lead the new path for football development.  "It is a huge irony that I am in Ondo and he is in Ekiti, really.
