Ibrahim Galadima Appointed Kano Pillars Acting Chairman

Kano Pillars have announced the appointment of Ibrahim Galadima as their acting chairman.

“Ibrahim Galadima, Chairman of Kano State Sports Commission, will now replace the current Chairman of Kano Pillars FC, Surajo Shu’aibu Yahaya, in an acting capacity, before the appointment of a substantive Chairman,” read the statement “The appointment is with immediate effect.”

Galadima was a former chairman of the Nigeria Football Federation.

He is the chairman of the Presidential Committee on the 10-Year Football Development Masterplan which is set to submit it’s blueprint to the Minister of Youth and Sports Development.
