Coach Bala
Nikyu started his reign as Wikki Tourists Technical Adviser with a resounding 3-0
victory over Abia Warriors in the matchday 20 of the Nigeria Professional
Football League (NPFL).
The Big Elephants
were on fire as they raced to a 2-0 lead against Abia Warriors in the first
half.
After series
of missed chances, the coach-Nikyu-tutored side opened scoring in the 12th
minute as Ahmed Usman rose pass Abia Warriors’ defenders to nod in a corner
kick.
The restart
of the second half saw the visitors played with revamped vigour with Sunday
Adetunji spear-heading their quest for elusive goal, but despite their
determination, the resurgent Wikki Tourists nailed the visitors’ coffin in the
62nd minute when Kabiru Mohammed scored the third goal.
The results
moved Wikki Tourists out of the relegation zone and now in 16th
position with 24 points.
The win also
showed that the changes made to the squad by the State Government during the
mid-season had started yielding positive results.
The new technical
crew was appointed while some new players were recruited during the mid season
transfer window.
