Nwachukwu who spoke with the club media after the energy-sapping 1-0 home win over Bendel Insurance on Wednesday in Owerri said with the end to the winless streak, Heartland can only grow from strength to strength in subsequent league games as they strive to leave the relegation zone.
He praised the players, technical crew and other officials of the club for working round the clock to ensure the first win of the season was achieved but enjoined them to be focused on the next task which is to consolidate on the victory over Bendel Insurance.

The General Manager also disclosed that the support the team enjoys from the state government through the Commissioner for Youth, Sports and Social Development, Honourable Emeka Okoronkwo is the reason the recent changes have helped to galvanise the team towards ensuring that some of the mistakes committed at the start of the season are corrected.
