A leading supporter and number one contender for the chairmanship of the Kano Pillars Football Club Supporters Club, Alh Naziru Aminu Abubakar Dukawa has congratulated Alhaji Abba Kabir Yusuf for his inauguration as the new chief executive of Kano state.

Alhaji Naziru also known as Naziru Pillars sent his congratulation message last weekend in an interview with www.sportseye.ng in Kano.

Naziru Pillars, who is a number one choice for the Kano Pillars fans club chairmanship then advised the state number one citizen to put people of integrity to serve as managers of Kano Pillars Football Club.

According to Naziru Pillars, a wealthy individual with an unflinching love and support for Kano Pillars Football Club should be appointed as the club’s chairman.

“To me, that is the only way the team can stand on its feet and move out of the hands of the people who want to eat from the team and always go to the government for finance,” he stated.

On the types of people to serve as members of the board of Kano Pillars FC, Alhaji Naziru Wapa said, there is a need for professionals to be on the board.

“We need people who are well experienced in the banking or financial sector, some business men, people who are knowledgeable with Nigerian football politics and people who are experienced in grassroots soccer to work with the chairman as a team,” he added.

On the running cost of Kano Pillars, Alhaji Naziru explained that experience has made him know that, with a harmonized salary structure, Kano Pillars have no problem with players’ salaries.

“What the team needs is funds for players’ and officials’ hotel bills with their feeding allowances and money for fueling its vehicles,” said Alhaji Naziru Pillars.

From the above scenario, Naziru Pillars then advocates for a ten match budget plan for Kano Pillars FC.

“This will see the government releasing some substantial amount of money for the team after every ten matches played.

“It will also save the government money from being squandered by some wicket club officials,” said Naziru Wapa.

Alhaji Naziru then prayed for the almighty God to guide governor Abba kabir Yusuf to achieve what he wanted to achieve for Kano state.

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.
