The Solid Miners further boosted their quest for a swift return to the Nigeria Premier Football League on Saturday afternoon following an emphatic 2-0 Conference C win over visiting EFCC FC in the match-day fifteen of the 2023/24 Nigeria National League decided at the Lafia City Stadium.

Mid-season purchase, Terdoo Shimaga, netted a brace in both the 10th and 34th minutes respectively before the break to ensure United would require only one point to officially guarantee a play-off spot, with their away game against Zamfara United in Sokoto on Saturday, 27th April, 2024, the determinant.

Attacker, Shimaga, was voted Man-of-the-Match in the game versus EFCC as the Lafia-based side climaxed their home fixtures winning all eight games.

He now has three goals from three matches.

Saturday’s victory extended the Solid Miners’ points over Wikki Tourists FC of Bauchi to six even as the Bauchi-based side would give their all in their game against boundary neighbours, Mighty Jets International FC who lost their last home game to Nasarawa United,1-2, with Shimaga also on the score sheet for the Lafia-based side.

El-Kanemi Warriors’ slim win over hosts, Yobe Desert Stars, in the other Conference C game ensured the Maiduguri-based team are the first side to qualify for the Super Eight after ending the Season with 34 points.
