NPFL: Ogunbote confident Plateau United will avoid relegation

Plateau United technical adviser Gbenga Ogunbote has called on his players to remain focused as they battle relegation.

The Peace Boys suffered a 1‑0 defeat to Nasarawa United at the Lafia City Stadium on Sunday.

The loss places Plateau United in a precarious position ahead of the season’s final match.

Plateau United’s next opponent is Kano Pillars in the season‑ending fixture in Jos.

Ogunbote stressed that the squad must do everything possible to avoid dropping down.

“Sometimes expectations are high and you don’t get it the way you wanted. The defeat against Nasarawa United was one of them,” Ogunbote told the club’s media.

“The defeat is a big setback. We just have to go back to work and ensure we avoid the drop.

“We will do our best as everybody has an equal chance going into the final day. We just have to go back and redefine our position in the league.”

Plateau United must win their game against Kano Pillars to secure their top‑flight status.
