“That’s the task before us as we get ready for the commencement of the second stanza of the season on Sunday.
“The task looks insurmountable but to us it is achievable with the quality of players in our fold.
“We’ve pencilled down few experienced players to boost the squad and once we’re done with their clearance they’re sure to bring added value to our survival campaign.
“I’m confident Nembe City will maintain its status in the Premier League next season,” said Aranka to supersport.com.
