According to the statement by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Ismail Mudashir, the Senator representing Kano North showered encomium on the players and the club’s management, challenging them to bring home the NPFL title.
“There is no doubt the club has witnessed a remarkable achievement within a short period. From Academy to NLO, from NLO to NNL and from there to this great milestone of the Premier League. Your success is a victory for the Nigerian youth. We can’t thank you enough,” he said.
Senator Barau added that his dream is to see the club on the continental stage by next year and some of the players playing in the world’s best clubs.
He said 25 new players from various clubs and a technical adviser in the NPFL have been engaged to take the club to the next level.
“Our new signings are the best in the Nigeria Football League. Some of them are not even from Nigeria. So we have already gone continental. Likewise, our Head Coach is the best,” he said.
