The Pride of Makurdi are currently featuring in a pre-season tournament in Ogun State, where Abubakar says the players are showing steady improvement.
“I’m very happy with the improvement of my boys. I still believe that the work is in progress — we are moving closer to our best,” Abubakar told the club’s media.
