Kano Pillars have been handed a financial boost following their hard-fought 1–0 victory over Remo Stars in a Nigeria Premier Football League matchday 25 encounter.
The Sai Masu Gida edged the Sky Blue Stars at the Sani Abacha Stadium last Sunday, with Luis Dadong scoring the decisive goal that secured maximum points for the hosts in a tightly contested fixture.
In recognition of the important win, the players were rewarded with a cash prize of N1.4 million.
Presenting the reward, Chairman of the Kano State House Committee on Sports, Kabiru Dahiru Sule, emphasised the need for a revival at the historic club.

“We want Kano Pillars to return to where it belongs. We have lived too long on past glory, and now is the time to rebuild and rebrand the club to a higher level,” Sule stated.
The victory comes at a critical stage of the season, with Pillars battling to climb away from the lower end of the table. Mohammed Babaganaru’s side currently sit 17th with 28 points, just one point above Kwara United, who occupy 18th position with 27 points.
Kano Pillars will face Kwara United in Ilorin this weekend in what promises to be a decisive clash in the relegation battle.
