SUPER Eagles forward Ahmed Musa has been named the new General Manager of Kano Pillars.
Musa, 32, currently a player with the Nigeria Premier Football League club, will be working along with 17 new members of the reconstituted board.
The former Leicester City star will lead the management team of the club to the coming NPFL season, following the announcement of his appointment yesterday in a statement signed by the spokesperson of the Kano State Governor, Sunusi Bature Dawakin Tofa.
According to the release, Governor Abba Yusuf has also approved the appointment of a new management board for the club as part of ongoing efforts to further strengthen the team and enhance its performance in the next NPFL season.
This follows the expiration of the one-year tenure earlier granted to the board, which led the team to finish ninth in the NPFL table.
The statement noted that Musa’s appointment is a strategic move to leverage the wealth of experience and leadership of the ex-Super Eagles captain to reposition the club as a formidable contender in the league.
The newly approved management board also includes Ali Muhammad Umar Nayara, Chairman; Salisu Mohammed Kosawa; Yusuf Danladi Andy Cole, Idris Malikawa Garu, Nasiru Bello, and Muhammad Ibrahim.
Others are Abdulkarim Audi, Muhammad Danjuma, Mustapha Usman Darma, Umar Dankura, Ahmad Musbahu, Gambo Salisu Shuaibu Kura, Rabiu Abdullahi, Aminu Ma’alesh, Safiyanu Abdu, Abubakar Isah Dandago Yamalash as Media Director I, and Ismail Abba Tangalash as Media Director 2.
The government expressed confidence that the reconstituted board, under the leadership structure, will consolidate the team’s achievements and deliver improved results in the forthcoming season.
