Akinkunle Bolarinwa

Life in the second tier league of Nigeria could be harder for one of the oldest club in the country if the matches are not taken with serious intentions and efforts.

However it was sweet Victories for Kano Pillars, as they began campaign for promotion in the Nigeria National League (NNL)

The pride of the North failed to keep its status in the Nigeria Football Premier league (NPFL) last season due to poor performances

which saw them demoted to the most important league.

Kano Pillars earned a princeless away win over Sokoto United at the Giginya Stadium in match day one of the 2022/2023 NNL season.

The team needed Yusuf Abdullahi's 52' minutes strike to get the victory for Pillars Pillars in a grudge match against their Northern neighbour.

In their second game Kano Pillars FC spanked Kebbi United 3-0 to record their second win in their NNL MD 2 outing.

Biodun Yusuf raised the goals curtains in the 17th minutes, Aliyu Umar secured the double in the 70th and 88th minutes.

Kano Pillars fc would be away to Malumfashi FC, on Match Day 3, next weekend.
