Ladan said 21 players travelled to Yobe for the encounter and gave a strong account of themselves despite the result.
He also commended their conduct and punctuality during training.
“I can confirm that 21 of our players made the trip to Yobe and fought gallantly. Your efforts are well noticed and appreciated, so a huge well done to all our boys,” Ladan told the players.
The general manager urged the squad to remain united and focused as they prepare for their next league fixture.
He said the players had also demonstrated commitment by arriving early for training and completing their drills. “Our mission is simple: forge a united front and do well,” he said.
