Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf has announced a complete reconstitution of the club’s management board, appointing former Super Eagles captain, Ahmed Musa, as the club’s new General Manager.
The appointment was confirmed in an official statement released Friday by the governor’s spokesperson, Sanusi Tofa.
The restructuring follows the expiration of the outgoing board’s one-year tenure and is part of what the governor 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, a decorated Nigerian international who played in the English Premier League, Russian top flight, and Turkish Super Lig, also served as captain of the national team, the Super Eagles. His appointment has sparked excitement within the football community, especially among Pillars supporters, many of whom still remember his early playing days at the club.
Speaking on his new role, Musa expressed gratitude and determination.
“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. ”
The newly announced 17-member board will be chaired by Ali Umar (Nayara), with several members from the outgoing board reappointed in recognition of their contribution to the club’s recent progress, including a commendable ninth-place finish in the just-concluded NPFL season.
Other board members include Salisu Mohammed Kosawa, Yusuf Danladi (Andy Cole), Idris Malikawa Garu, Nasiru Bello, Muhammad Ibrahim (Hassan West), and Hamza Abdulkarim Audi Chara, among others. Media Directors Abubakar Isah Dandago Yamalash and Ismail Abba Tangalash retained their roles, providing continuity in the club’s communication strategy.
