Nigeria’s national team captain, Ahmed Musa, has donated the sum of five hundred thousand naira each to the players of Kano Pillars FC Under-19 team and their Mighty Jets of Jos counterparts as a reward for their performance.

This was part of their preparation for the Nigeria Premier Football League Match Day 13 fixture against Lobi Stars of Makurdi.

Over the weekend, he netted his fifth goal of the season against Heartland FC with a commanding header that left the opposing goalkeeper with no chance. In addition to his goals, Musa has provided three assists and earned three penalties for his side through his brilliant attacking play.

His commitment to supporting grassroots football development is evident in this generous gesture, which will undoubtedly motivate the young players of both teams. 

The Under-19 Youth League, a platform for discovering future talents, has already seen moments of brilliance that align with Musa’s vision for Nigerian football.

Ahmed Musa is also expected to lead the Pyramid City side in their next league game on Saturday, where they will face Lobi Stars at the Lafia City Stadium. Fans are hopeful that his leadership and form will drive the four-times Nigerian Champions to yet another away victory.

The gesture by Musa reflects his dedication to uplifting the sport at all levels, ensuring that budding talents are not only recognized but encouraged to pursue excellence. His contributions to the Sai Masu Gida and Nigerian football at large remain unparalleled.
