Bauchi State Government has reiterated his commitment to support Kano Pillars FC as they prepare for the forthcoming 2020/21 CAF Confederation Cup through the state’s Commissioner for Youth and Sports, Alhaji Adamu A. Manu while receiving Kano Pillars FC’s Chairman, Alhaji Surajo Shaaibu Jambul in his office in Bauchi.
Chairman of Kano Pillars FC Alhaji Surajo Shaaibu Yahaya Jambul allayed that they were in his office to request Bauchi State Government’s approval to allow the Aiteo Cup holders to use the Tafawa Balewa Stadium as their adopted home ground during the 2020/2021 CAF Confederation Cup campaign with players, a technical crew of the club and management willing to adopt Bauchi as their second home in order to promote the cordial relationship between both states.
The visit spurred the inspection of some facilities at the Tafawa Balewa Stadium as Kano Pillars Fc are on the lookout for an alternative venue for the 2020/2021 CAF Confederation Cup as the Sani Abacha Stadium is being used as one of the Covid-19 isolation centers in Kano State.
Alhaji Adamu revealed the state’s appreciation to Kano Pillars for choosing Tafawa Balewa Stadium as one of the venues adopted by the Sai Masu Gida as their home for the 2020/2021 CAF Confederation Cup.
“Government and good people of Bauchi State, particularly football family, would rally behind Kano Pillars. Feel free that you are at home in Bauchi. It is like you are playing at the Sani Abacha Stadium, Kofar Mata, Kano,” the Commissioner commented.
He also congratulated the Pyramid City team for having the opportunity to represent the country on the continent as he promised to present the matter before Governor Bala Muhammad, for his blessing and further action.
He expressed his appreciation for the way and manner they were received by the Bauchi State Football Association, Wikki Tourists FC management, Government, and the good people of Bauchi State.
