Globacom Premier League with an away fixture against Akwa United at the Uyo Township Stadium.
The Bayelsa State side will now have their previous four games rescheduled by the League Management Company (LMC) in due course.
Coach of Nembe City Gabriel Samuel Umunna is confident that his wards are psychologically ready for
the week five clash with current league leaders, Akwa United coached by ex-international goalkeeper Patrick Udoh.
"We are mentally, physically and psychologically ready for Akwa United. This is a trying period for us but we have what it takes to weather the storm. Everybody knows what our players are passing through but we are prepared for the challenges ahead. Thank god that we have been cleared to play at last by LMC.
"Akwa United are doing well at the moment but we are going to Uyo to grab the three points at stake. We have to start on a good note in order to appreciate our fans who are solidly behind us. We are going to make a statement this season despite the situation we have passed through," Umunna opined.
It will be recalled that LMC had initially exiled both Nembe City and Giwa Fc for their failure to meet minimum registration requirements before they eventually got reprieve.
Giwa FC first pardoned by LMC defeated Rangers Fc on Wednesday in Jos in their first game of the
season at the time Nembe City were yet to meet the conditions spelt out by the Nduka Irabor-led LMC.
