New Chairman
of Mighty Jets Football Club of Jos, Alexander Noel Wukari, has said that he is
committed to returning the club back to Nigeria Professional Football League
(NPFL) with the help of the newly constituted board members.
Speaking
after the inauguration, conducted by the President, Mighty Jets Board of
Founders, Ismaila Mabo, an elated Chairman, Wukari, said "It’s very
shameful and disheartening Mighty Jets, which is among the leading clubs, who
won the first league trophy in Nigeria in 1972, is still playing in the second
tier of club football in Nigeria. To me, the focus now is to bring this club
that has lots of fans and followers both home and abroad, back to the Premier
League where they will be rubbing shoulders with some other traditional club
sides like Rangers of Enugu, Shootings Stars Sports Club of Ibadan, Kano
Pillars, among others."
Wukari, who
received the baton of leadership from Godfrey Hamza, charged them to work with
new board and return Mighty Jets FC to the elite division.
The newly
appointed Marketing Director of Mighty Jets FC, Sammy Adesoji, thanked the club
for the confidence reposed in him to work with the club and promised to
contribute his own quota to the development of the club and also making sure
that Mighty Jets gain promotion back to the Premier League.
Other members
of the new board are: AlhajiSalisu Isa Blanco (first Vice Chairman), Architect
Noel Aywila (second Vice Chairman) and
Alhaji Nasiru Rabiu Director of Administration.
The former
Super Eagles star, Benedict Akwuegbu, John Barry and Alhaji Ado TalleMaifata
completed the list.
Some great
Nigerian musicians are expected to add flavour to the tournament. They include
great musicians like 2Face Idibia, MI, Iceprince, etc. there will also be free
medicals at Churches and Mosques, Musical concerts, Christmas Carol, Road Shows
and many others.
