The management of Wikki Tourists FC of Bauchi has completed the signing of a striker, Emmanuel Ebekwe Uzoma ahead of the second stanza of the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL), Sportinglens.blogspot.com reports.

The club’s media officer, Nasiru Kobi confirmed to Sportinglens.blogspot.com that Uzoma joined the club from Taraba United.

The Bauchi-based side had difficulty in scoring goals in the first stanza and the club is doing everything to solve the problem before the resumption of the second stanza.

Uzoma will work with the duo of Richard Jonathan and Kabiru Musa in the attack.

“What we are doing now is for the good of the club. We want to solidify the team and I belief that the inclusion Uzoma will add a bite to our attack. He is a young and talented player,” Kobi said to Sportinglens.blogspot.com.

Kobi also disclosed that the club has parted company with its General coordinator, Auwal Babajada.

According to Kobi, the club has scraped the office of the coordinator, adding that the Team Manager, Aminu Dalhatu Umar, who was appointed few weeks ago will now take over his duty.

“Our new Team Manager will be doing the job of the coordinator with his own official duty. This is part of the restructuring going on in the club and I believe at the end of the day it will yield a positive result,” he said.
