Kano State Governor, Abba Kabir Yusuf, donated three brand new buses to Kano Pillars Football Club as a move to facilitate the team’s movement during the ongoing 2025/2026 Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) season.
The buses comprise a 29-seater luxurious Marcopolo bus for players, a Hummer bus, and a Sharon.
However, the presentation of the bushes was made on the directive of Governor Yusuf.
Presenting the vehicles on behalf of the Governor, the Secretary to the State Government (SSG), Ibrahim Farouk, said the donation reflects the administration’s commitment to youth empowerment and sports development.
Farouk urged sports-loving youths in the state to remain law-abiding and to shun acts of hooliganism that could tarnish the image of Kano.
He also commended the Commissioner for Youths and Sports Development, Mustapha Kwankwaso, for his dedication and commitment to youth and sports development in the state.
This was contained in a statement issued by the club’s head of Media Directorate, Alhaji Abubakar Dadango, on Thursday in Kano.
Speaking at the occasion, in his remarks, Kwankwaso thanked Yusuf for the gesture, describing it as a milestone that would motivate the team and boost players’ morale.
Kwankwaso then urged fans of “Sai Masu Gida” to continue supporting the club with discipline and sportsmanship.
The club’s General Manager, Ahmed Musa, expressed appreciation to the governor for what he described as an inspiring gesture.
Musa assured that the players would redouble their efforts to restore the club’s glory, noting that the donation marked the beginning of greater things to come for the team.
He also appealed to the state government to immortalise the club’s iconic captain, Rabiu Ali, for his exceptional contributions to Kano Pillars and Nigerian football.
