Kano Pillars football club have appealed to the Nigeria Football Federation, NFF, to pay their N25million Aiteo Cup Prize money.
After waiting for 66 years, Kano Pillars won their second Challenge Cup trophy, now called Aiteo Cup when they defeated Niger Tornadoes 4-3 on penalties in the 2019 finals decided at the Ahmadu Bello Stadium in Kaduna.
Although they were to take home the cash prize of N25m for winning the competition sponsored by Aiteo Group, Kano Pillars have said they are yet to be paid the money.
The Chairman of the club, Alhaji Surajo Shaaibu Yahaya who spoke to Daily Trust on Thursday said Pillars have not given up on the money but are not prepared to make it a media issue.
