Alhaji Salisu Usman Galadima (Dan Iyan Kwandere) appreciated the teams and their officials for their visits as he pledged that his loyalty would be to the development of the game in the state.

“We give Glory to God for the grace to be able to battle for this position and win”.

It’s not a surprise to me that you visited because of the symbiotic relationship we have. It is a relationship that has been long hence I am not surprised”.

“As we all know, the kind of job that means you leading people does not come easy as I did not look for this post for my personal gains but for the love of the good people of the state”.

“There are many plans that my administration has for the growth of the game that will be unfolded soon and without your maximum support it will not see the light of day”.

“During our campaign, we promised that we would constitute different committees at the local FA level where some of our local coaches would be sponsored by the National Institute of Sports (NIS) to further refresh their knowledge about the round leather game”.

“We will make sure that we revamp the local tournaments within the state from the Inter schools to the Governor’s Cup, Emir’s Cup and so many tournaments that will add gloss to the good name of the state and your support will be pivotal to make all these happen, Salisu Galadima concluded”.
