World
football governing body, FIFA has kept its pledge of monitoring
intensely events in Nigeria football, as the body on Thursday
congratulated newly crowned Nigeria Premier League champions, Kano
Pillars.
In a letter addressed to
Nigeria Football Federation President, Mr. Amaju Pinnick, and signed by
the FIFA President, Mr. Joseph S. Blatter, FIFA commended the entire
Pillars family for a job well done and also highlighted the capacity of
football to transform societies.
He
said, “I know that behind this success are the belief and effort of
everyone involved. This is a true team victory, and all of you deserve
to share in the accolades: the players and coach of course, but also the
technical and medical staff, and not least, the loyal fans. The
dynamism and commitment of the Kano Pillars team have enabled them to
win this title for the 3rd time in succession.
“Football
is proving more than ever that it can transcend traditional boundaries
to become a real driver of development. It enables players at all levels
to develop their individual skills, tactical understanding and personal
dynamism, all the while strengthening team spirit.
“Football
is truly a school for life and I am convinced that everyone, and in
particular the young people of today, can benefit from playing football
on both a social and personal level. That is why I urge them all in Kano
Pillars to continue their work, leading the way on this path of
success. Football is helping to build a better future and I wish to
thank Kano Pillars for playing a part in this.”
