What do you believe is the single most important factor driving up the cost of living in Nigeria?

Like their visitors, Ikorodu City came into the game looking for their first win, and more worthy of note is their inability to register a goal in their previous three matches.

While the likes of Ayomide Cole and Chilaka had chances to make history for the newly promoted side, Nasarawa United hit the post through Balogun, and it was the visitors who took the lead just before halftime, courtesy of Yusuf, who unmarked after being freed on a quick counter by a teammate and slotted past the Ikorodu City goalkeeper for his fifth goal of the season.

There was however enough time for an Ikorodu City response before the break, thanks to Chilaka, who rose high to head home a cross from captain Waliu Ojeyote.

Like they did in their midweek loss against Rangers International, Ikorodu City resumed the second half with tenacity but weren’t clinical enough in front of goal.

They would rue their chances eventually as Balogun scored from a direct free kick midway through the second half of the game to secure the first win of the season for the Solid Miners.
