He expressed gratitude to the Executive Governor of Nasarawa State, Engr. Abdullahi Sule, and the good people of the State as well as the Club’s stakeholders for reposing confidence in him throughout his leadership.
He opined that his new endeavour as Permanent Secretary still provides him the avenue to lend his onerous support to his successor and club, including rallying the needed support to return it back to the elite domestic football league in the shortest possible period.
Making his remarks after receiving the handing over note, the new Club Supremo, Dr. Othman, commended the outgone Chairman for the feats he achieved with the Club during his leadership.
He assured that he would study the document carefully and learn from the vast experience of the former Chairman to take the Club to where it should be.
While wishing the former Chairman well in his new office, Othman appealed for the maximum support from him and Staff of the Ministry to succeed.
