Speaking during a familiarization meeting on Monday with the club’s Chairman, Alhaji Ali Muhammad Umar, and Board members, Musa expressed his deep commitment to reviving the team’s glory and building on its proud legacy.

“Kano Pillars is our club and one of the most successful in Nigeria, but in recent years, things have changed,” Musa noted. “With your support and the backing of the Board, I’m fully committed to repositioning this club and making it a force not just in Africa, but globally. I’ve played here, I’ve played in Europe, and I believe I can use that experience to help the club reach its full potential.”
