Their defensive woes were particularly evident, conceding 24 goals, the joint worst record in the league. This dismal performance has left them firmly entrenched in a relegation battle.
Currently sitting at the bottom of the table with 19 points from 19 games, Nasarawa United is just two points adrift of Sunshine Stars, who occupy 16th position.
The eight new additions are a clear signal of the club’s determination to escape the relegation zone.
The new signings include: Benson Abbey, Peace Dewan, Abubakar Aliyu, Solomon Chigozie, Peter Eneji, Ugochukwu Leonard, Benjamin Jack and Onyema Emmanuel.
Nasarawa United will begin the second half of the NPFL season with a home fixture against Katsina United on January 25.
They will be hoping for a vastly different outcome compared to their previous encounter, which saw Katsina United secure a 1-0 victory in the final game of the previous year.
