The NPFL back-to-back champion and experienced tactician, Coach Abdul Babaganaru, upon assuming the reins at Akwa United, was tasked with the responsibility of helping the club escape relegation during a dire situation of a relegation slide.


The mission was undertaken by the former head coach of Kano Pillars, Nasarawa United, and Gombe United, which was an uphill task considering the club had only managed to win three matches after 19 games in the 2023/2024 Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) season.


The veteran coach, with immense experience, then took charge of The Promise Keepers in the second half of NPFL24 when the club was in 18th position on the table.


Coach Babaganaru led Akwa United through 11 matches of NPFL24, securing the club's escape from relegation. In his final game, Matchday 38 against Rivers United in Akwa Ibom, the team emerged victorious with a 3-1 scoreline in favor of Babaganaru's side.


This is the second time such a feat has occurred. Recall that in NPFL22-23, during an abridged league, Lobi Stars of Makurdi appointed Coach Babaganaru while they were in the relegation zone. He successfully steered the Ortom boys clear of relegation and led the team to the Super Six playoff for that season.


Coach Mohammed Babaganaru has previously won the NPFL title back-to-back as Head Coach of Kano Pillars. He has also had stints with Yobe Desert Stars, El-Kanemi Warriors, Nasarawa United, Lobi Stars of Makurdi, and other clubs.
