El-Kanemi Warriors technical adviser Suleiman Dogo has issued a firm guarantee that the club will reclaim its status as a premier force within the Nigerian top-flight. The veteran coach aims to restore the Borno Army to the heights they reached during their highly successful 2023 and 2024 campaigns. Despite a rich recent history that includes a continental appearance in the 2024 CAF Confederation Cup, the Maiduguri-based side has struggled to maintain that elite momentum in the current season.
The club reached a significant milestone in 2023 when they secured the prestigious President Federation Cup title. This victory served as a catalyst for their subsequent foray into African club competition, yet the team has found it difficult to mirror those achievements over the past few months. Currently, El-Kanemi Warriors sit in ninth place on the Nigeria Premier Football League table, having accumulated 34 points from their 23 league outings so far.
Dogo remains confident that the squad possesses the necessary quality to climb the standings and challenge the league leaders once again. The technical department continues to refine tactical approaches to address the inconsistencies that have hindered their progress this term. By focusing on consistent performance levels, the leadership expects a significant upward shift in their competitive ranking before the season concludes.
While addressing the supporters through the club’s official communication channels, Suleiman Dogo reaffirmed his commitment to the rebuilding process:
“El-Kanemi Warriors will surely bounce back to where they truly belong.”
