Speaking at the event on Monday in Kano, Babangida Little, the chairman of the club, promised the coach a favourable working environment.
“The unveiling is like a ritual for us. Maikaba is one of our own and we must give him the respect,” he said.
The chairman expressed optimism in the ability of the club’s new coach to deliver on the mandate given to him.
Little said the move aligned with the team’s preparations towards a successful outing in the 2023/2024 season.
He assured the people of the state and the club’s teeming supporters that the club would aim for laurels in the new season.
