The Solid Miner came from a goal down record a famous 2-1 win over over record Nigeria professional football league winners Enyimba of Aba at the Lafia Township Stadium.
Nikyu watched his side fell behind after 13 minute of play as Enyimba’s Victor Mbaoma scored the first goal of the game.
However, It didn’t take long before Nasawara United responded with their equaliser after five minutes with a goal from Tope Oluwole.
The Last season’s Aiteo Cup finalists completed the comeback in the 90th minute when Shammasu Mohammed scored the winner.
Speaking after the game, Bala Nikyu described result as a great one for his side .

“The first-half  was  a  bit  difficult  and,  of  course,  the  players  kne what it  wouldn’t  b e  n i c e  f or  u s   t o  en d   t he  g ame  with  a  draw  or  loss after the bizarre  adventure in  Bauchi  during  the  weekend.
He also thanked fans for their support all through the game.
“But I must thank the  vociferous  home  fans  for  their relentlessness. They are truly the twelfth  player.” He said.
