Kano Pillars Unveil 12 New Signings and Retain Core Squad Ahead of NPFL Season



As the 2024/2025 Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) season approaches, Kano Pillars FC has strengthened its squad with 12 new signings, showcasing their ambition to return to the top of Nigerian football. The four-time NPFL champions have strategically bolstered every position on the field, while also retaining 20 key players from the previous season to maintain continuity and experience within the team.

The new signings include three goalkeepers: Chukwuemeka Oniya from Rangers International, Abuchi Okeke from Sokoto United, and Charles Tambe from Remo Stars, all expected to compete for the number one spot. In defense, the club has added Mustapha Jibrin, a right-back from Niger Tornadoes; Ugochwukwu Gabriel from Wikki Tourists FC; Nelso Abiam from Doma United; and Alhassan Rashid from Karela United in Ghana, aiming to fortify the backline. In the midfield, the addition of Bright Emmanuel from Solution FC is anticipated to bring more creativity and control. The attacking line has been significantly boosted with the arrivals of Zulkifilu Muhammed from Rangers International and Sudais Ali Baba, a striker from FC Trollhättan in Sweden, both expected to provide goals and attacking options. Completing the list are Akpesiri Naibe, a wing forward from Sporting Lagos, and Emmanuel Anaful, a striker from Karela FC in Ghana, who bring versatility and depth to the squad.

Kano Pillars will kick off their NPFL journey for the 2024/25 season with a home match against the newly promoted Ikorodu City of Lagos on Sunday, September 8th, 2024. However, due to renovations at their traditional home ground, the Sani Abacha Stadium, the team will temporarily play their home games at the Muhammad Dikko Stadium in Katsina. This relocation poses a unique challenge, but with a blend of new talents and seasoned players, the Sai Masu Gida are poised to make a strong impact as they set their sights on another league title.
