“I want to assure our amiable Governor, Senator Sani Uba, that we are going to come out with a very formidable squad that would be capable of representing Kaduna in any of the leagues,” Babangida said.
“Kaduna State is blessed with untapped football talents and with the technical team that we have put in place would definitely select nothing but the best players,and I am very sure that we will have a good football competition.”
Babangida thanked the Governor for giving him such wonderful opportunity to midwife a football club for the state, assuring confidence in the tink tank technical committee to select only the best players.
