Kano Pillars forward, Ahmed Musa has commended his teammates for their resilience and determination following the team’s relegation survival.

The Sai Masu Gida maintained their top-flight status despite going down to a 1-0 defeat against Plateau United at the New Jos Stadium on Sunday.

The four-time champions finished the season in 15th position with 48 points from 38 matches.

Musa thanked football stakeholders in the state for their support during the season.

“Despite our slow and unfamiliar start to the campaign, our darling club, Kano Pillars FC, showed resilience, character and determination to retain its NPFL status for another season,” Musa was quoted in his appreciation message.

“This achievement would not have been possible without the unwavering support, prayers and encouragement from the good people of Kano and football lovers across the country.”
