It is really unfortunate and sad that some players of Kano Pillars Football Club have not been getting their monthly take home months ago.

This was revealed at the Nasara Radio Kano sports programme “Taskar Wasanni” yesterday evening.

According to the reports five months into the new football season, more than five regular players of the club are yet to start collecting their salary.

Another number of Kano Pillars players always got their salaries heavily cut, an action which some supporters and stakeholders sees as an attempt to demoralize the players from the current top form they are now on.

Even though the presenter of the programme, Muhammad Wasilu Kawo could not reach the chairman of the club, Babangida Little for comment on the issue but a member of the club’s management committee, Alhaji Naziru Wapa proved ignorant about the situation.

Wapa quickly begged for the players’ understanding and promised to take the matter to the knowledge of the management committee.

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.
