Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf has announced a major shake-up of Kano Pillars Football Club’s management board, appointing former Super Eagles captain Ahmed Musa as the club’s new General Manager.
The announcement was made in an official statement released by the governor’s spokesperson, Sanusi Bature Tofa. The overhaul follows the expiration of the outgoing board’s one-year tenure and is part of a broader plan Governor Yusuf described as a “strategic effort to reposition Kano Pillars for greater success.”
“This is more than just a reshuffle,” the statement read. “It is a deliberate initiative to blend football experience with effective administration. The inclusion of Ahmed Musa reflects our commitment to attracting investment, inspiring players, and reigniting fan passion for the club.”
Ahmed Musa, one of Nigeria’s most accomplished footballers, has represented clubs in the English Premier League, Russian Premier League, and Turkish Super Lig. He also captained the Nigerian national team, the Super Eagles, and began his professional career at Kano Pillars.
Reacting to his appointment, Musa said: “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 move has sparked optimism among fans and stakeholders, many of whom remember Musa’s early days with the club and see his return as a chance to usher in a new era of success for Kano Pillars.
