Why I dissolved Kano Pillars’ board, Gov. Ganduje

.Promises to appoint quality coach for Sai Masu Gida

Kano State Governor Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje has attributed selfish interest among the management and team’s poor performance for the dissolution of the Kano Pillars board. Governor Ganduje dissolved the board on Wednesday in a farewell message to Kano Pillars basketball team who are on their way to Togo for this year's West African basketball championship.

The Governor frowned at the way the outgoing board handled the affairs of the club in the just concluded Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) despite all the support and commitment of his administration to the team.

“I am not happy with what happen in the outgoing board were the members are fighting themselves for their own interest instead to put heads together to move the club forward,” Governor Ganduje said.

Governor Ganduje has directed Kano State Sports Commission chairman Alhaji Ibrahim Galadima to come up with new recommendations on how to restructure the board without further delay.

 He said Kano State government would ensure a quality and sound coach would be employed to take the charge of the technical crew of the team in order to revive its glory.

Dr. Ganduje said the outgoing board was appointed base on confidence but they disappointed him and wish them the best in their future endeavors.

However, Galadima said they were at government house to thank the Governor for his concern to the sports activities in the state.

He then decorated Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje with Pillar of Pillars award to round off the ceremony.
