By Saddeeq Katsina
Katsina, Nigeria – April 11, 2025 – In a dramatic shake-up, the Katsina State government has dismissed the entire management team of Katsina United FC following a humiliating 6-0 defeat to Ikorodu City FC in matchday 31 of the ongoing league season. The decision, announced via a press release, signals the government’s swift and decisive action in response to the team’s dismal performance.
The individuals relieved of their duties, with immediate effect, are:
- Gaddafi Muammar Rudwan
- Abbas Tukur
- Abdullahi Umar Leda Danja
- Yasir Yahayya
- Abubakar Adidas
The sacked officials have been directed to hand over all club affairs to Alhaji Rabiu Muhammad Rabiu, the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Sports and Youth Development. To ensure a smooth transition and immediate oversight, Saleh Yusuf and Aminu Leno have been appointed to assist the Permanent Secretary in supervising Katsina United FC until further directives are issued.
The Commissioner of Youth and Sports Development has tasked the newly appointed supervisory team with restoring order and direction to the state’s beloved football club. This move reflects the government’s commitment to holding the team accountable and demanding improved performance.
The crushing defeat has clearly triggered a swift response from the Katsina State government, showcasing a zero-tolerance approach to underperformance within its sporting institutions. The future of Katsina United FC now rests on the shoulders of the newly appointed supervisory team, as they strive to rebuild the team’s morale and performance.
