Editorial
We applaud Governor Yusuf's strategic vision in appointing Ahmed Musa as General Manager of Kano Pillars FC. This is far more than symbolic it demonstrates a clear intent to strengthen club governance with proven leadership rooted in playing excellence and global exposure.
Musa’s appointment promises to boost morale within the club while enhancing its stature both locally and nationally. As someone who has captained Nigeria at the highest level, he embodies the ambition and professionalism needed to cultivate talent and support meaningful performance improvements.
Appointing a former star of Musa’s calibre also sets a compelling example for young players who see in him a familiar role model someone who understands their aspirations and the club’s culture. That connection may drive both on-field energy and off-field discipline.
