The Makurdi-based side sat in bottom spot of the log prior to mid-week's Glo Premier League Matchday 25 tie but a heartwarming 1-0 win against visiting Sunshine Stars in Katsina-Ala has lifted the side to the 17th position on 32 points from possible 75.

Agbaji said his side are determined to sustain the new-found winning mentality in their subsequent matches.
.
"Never again will Lobi Stars comeback to the bottom of the league log, we've left the ignoble position for good.
.
"We know how daunting and demanding the vow will be to maintain but we've resolved to work extremely hard to consolidate and improve on our position.
.
"The mid-week victory will serve as strong motivation ahead of our next road match at Sharks in Port Harcourt.
.
"Sharks won their last game at city rivals, Dolphins same as ours and will come all out to grab another win on home soil.
.
"We're determined to puncture their dream in the game aimed at getting something substantial for ourselves.
.
"We'll cherish whatever sacrifice and price to keep us away from the bottom, we won't consider any sacrifice too much to make," said the 2013 Federation Cup semifinalists' strongman said.
