B. Lukman was the last player to score a league goal for Abia Warriors and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as Abia Warriors haven't scored in 273 minutes.

The manager will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Enugu Rangers in only four days.
