According to the statement, the appointment of the new management team was announced via a letter signed by the office of the secretary to the state government on Tuesday, with Othman Ahmed serving as the club’s new chair.

The letter indicated that Solomon Babanjah, who held the position of team manager in the previous management team, retains his position, as well as Idris Rilwan.
