The Kano State Government has called an emergency meeting with Kano Pillars chairman Ahmad Musbahu Garo following reports that head coach Daniel Ogunmodede is considering leaving the club over financial and welfare concerns, Nigeriasoccernet.com reports.
The state's Commissioner for Youth and Sports, Comrade Abdulahi Ibrahim Waiya, has scheduled the meeting with Garo for this evening as the government moves to address the growing problems within the club.
Discussions are expected to centre on Kano Pillars' financial difficulties, the welfare of players and officials, and the conditions surrounding the team's day-to-day operations.
One of the major concerns involves repeated breakdowns of the club's team bus, which reportedly left players and officials stranded in Enugu. A similar incident had also caused significant delays during the team's journey from Owerri.
The situation has added to concerns over the club's management, particularly following reports that Ogunmodede, popularly known as Ijaball, could consider ending his spell as head coach if the problems persist.
The government's intervention is expected to provide an opportunity for the club's leadership to explain the challenges and discuss measures to improve its operations.
Kano Pillars, one of Nigeria's established football clubs and former NPFL champions, will be hoping the meeting produces solutions that restore stability and prevent further disruption to the team's campaign.
