The chairman noted that this marks a significant step toward improving the welfare and morale of the players and officials, ensuring they are in optimal condition for away games.

“We are taking this step because it aligns with the vision of His Excellency, Engr. Abba Kabir Yusuf, who has been a strong pillar of support for Kano Pillars FC.

“We appreciate the Commissioner’s commitment and constant support. His contributions have been instrumental in keeping the team in a strong position,” the chairman added.

Kano Pillars has been one of the standout teams in the NPFL this season, delivering impressive performances both at home and on the road.

The Sai Masu Gida have secured vital away victories against Rangers and Bendel Insurance, along with crucial draws against Bayelsa United and Lobi Stars. These results underline the team’s resilience and competitiveness.
