Plateau United Bolster Squad with Four New Signings Amid Relegation Battle

Struggling Plateau United have made key reinforcements to their squad, securing the signings of Ekene Olisema Nero, Mojereola Sulaimon, Abfulmutallif Sanusi, and Dabo Joshua, TalkTalk Nigeria reports.

The Peace Boys, who have endured a tough NPFL campaign so far, are hoping the additions will help turn their season around. Olisema joins from Sporting Lagos, Sulaimon arrives from El-Kanemi Warriors, Sanusi makes the switch from Katsina United, while Joshua signs from Yobe Desert Stars in the Nigeria National League (NNL).

With just two wins in their last nine league games, Plateau United are dangerously flirting with relegation—a situation that has forced the club’s management to act swiftly. Mbwas Mangut’s men are currently in a precarious position, and these new signings will be expected to inject fresh energy and quality into the squad.

Their next test comes against Niger Tornadoes in their NPFL Matchday 23 clash on Sunday, a game that could be crucial in their fight for survival.

Can These New Signings Save Plateau United?

On paper, these acquisitions bring experience and youthful talent, but the real challenge will be how quickly they adapt and influence results. Football is often unforgiving, and with the league entering a critical phase, Plateau United must start picking up points immediately.

Fans will be hoping that this influx of new players provides the much-needed spark to inspire a turnaround. Otherwise, the Peace Boys may find themselves facing an uphill battle to retain their NPFL status. The coming weeks will be decisive.
