“I left Pillars over 10-years ago without winning the league then,” Musa said. “But now, by God’s grace, I will make a special record by leading the club to the Nigeria Professional Football League title.”

Musa started his football career with JUTH FC and was loaned to Kano Pillars, before sealing a deal with Dutch side VVV-Venlo at 17 years of age.

Musa thanked the management, players and fans of the club for sustaining the relationship between himself and the club since his first registration as Pillars player in 2009.
