Saturday, July 5, 2025 - Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf has announced a complete overhaul of Kano Pillars Football Club’s management board, naming former Super Eagles captain Ahmed Musa as the new General Manager of the club.
The appointment was disclosed in an official statement by
the governor’s spokesperson, Sanusi Tofa. The restructuring comes after the
expiration of the outgoing board’s one-year tenure and is part of what Governor
Yusuf described as a “strategic effort to reposition Kano Pillars for greater
success.”
“This is more than just a reshuffle. It is a deliberate
initiative to blend football experience with strong administration. The
inclusion of Ahmed Musa reflects our desire to attract investment, inspire
players, and reignite fans’ passion for the club,” the statement read.
Ahmed Musa, one of Nigeria’s most celebrated footballers,
has played for top clubs across Europe, including in the English Premier
League, Russian Premier League, and Turkish Super Lig. He also captained the
Nigerian national team, the Super Eagles. His appointment has generated
excitement among fans and stakeholders, particularly those who recall his early
playing days with the Kano-based club.
Speaking about his new role, Musa said: “Kano Pillars has
always been close to my heart. I’m honoured by this opportunity to contribute
in a new capacity. We have great talent, a loyal fan base, and with the right
structure, we can aim higher and compete for titles.”
