Rivers United are keeping their feet firmly on the ground despite their unbeaten run in the Nigeria Premier Football League, with assistant coach Yemi Olanrewaju insisting that collecting points remains the priority.
Rather than becoming distracted by the prospect of protecting their record, the club is concentrating on improving its position and delivering better results than last season.
The approach could prove important as the NPFL campaign gathers momentum. An unbeaten run can boost confidence and attract attention, but maintaining consistency over a long season requires concentration, discipline and the ability to handle pressure.
For Rivers United, the challenge is to turn their promising form into a sustained push for success. Every fixture presents a fresh test, and the coaching staff appear determined to keep the players focused on the bigger objective.
Supporters will be encouraged by the team’s start, but they will also know that the real measure of progress comes from how the club performs across the entire campaign.
With Olanrewaju emphasising points rather than records, Rivers United are sending a clear message: the mission is not simply to remain unbeaten, but to finish the season strongly.
