Kano Pillars striker Junior Lokosa has expressed his desire to concentrate on the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) with the hope of helping Sai Masu Gida winning silverware at the end of the season, Sportinglens.blogspot.com reports.  

Lokosa made the assertion after resuming training with his team-mates at Kano Pillars after his failed three weeks trip to Norway.

The former First Bank of Lagos had trials with SK Brann FC of Norway with the expectation to join the team but he failed to secure a deal with the club.

The club’s Media Officer, Idris Malikawa said Lokosa joined the team's training on Tuesday morning at the Sani Abacha Stadium, Kano.

In a chat with Sportinglens.blogspot.com, Malikawa said Lokosa is ready to wait for God’s time to secure a favourable deal that will enable him to play professional football abroad.

“I'm back and I’m waiting for God's time for me to play professional football outside Nigeria,” Lokosa was quoted as saying.

Lokosa also commended the management and entire fans of the club for their concern to the well being of the players in the team and assured that he will not relent in his efforts in moving the club forward.

“We want him to move forward.  It is not about Lokosa alone, but all our players should have opportunities to move higher in their choosing careers. If opportunity comes for anyone of them, we will allow them to go. But they should not be in hurry and choose the right time and right club. Lokosa has promised to be focused and help Pillars to archive something great this season,” Malikawa said to Sportinglens.blogspot.com.
