A day before their away National Professional Football League match against Rivers United Football Club of Port Harcourt, Kano Pillars Football Club was still at home, a situation which confused stakeholders in the state.

Investigation by this site unfolded that the team which was normally supposed to be very far on its way to Port Harcourt by now is still at the premises of Kano State Sports Commission waiting for funds to start its journey.

The team was supposed to start its trip by 6.00 am this morning  but at the time of writing this report (10.55am) the players, their officials and their buses were still waiting at the sports commission, an action which many described as a moral killer.

Our findings also revealed that it was the failure of the sports ministry to source and provides needed funds for the trip that is clogging the wheel of the team’s plans.

I was at the production unit of the Triumph Publishing Company, Kano but my keen interest in sports journalism made me to be sports writer and maintained a sports column called (Sports Eye) after my mentor Sani Muhammad Zaria transferred his service to New Nigeria newspapers in Kaduna. And when the government closed the Triumph in 2012, I was transfered to lectured DTP in the Department of Printing Technology of Kano State Polytechnic. And now that I retired, i used to visit the institution weekends for part-time lecturing.
