A former Super Eagles Skipper, Kanu Nwankwo, has promised to bring positive changes in Enyimba FC, days after he was named the club’s new chairman.
The Nigerian legend gave the assurance when he visited Caleb Ajagba, the Chief of Staff to Abia State Governor Alex Otti, at the Government House in Umuahia.
A statement from the Abia State Government House on Friday said Kanu’s “visit is to formally inform the State Governor of his arrival and readiness to commence work and stated his commitment to render his services to the people of Abia in the area of football.
“He assured that with his assumption of office, there will be positive changes in Enyimba and further noted that the time has come for the illustrious sons and daughters of Abia to come together and make the State great again.”
On his part, Ajagba said Abia State has all it needs to excel as a people. He has therefore called on those given responsibilities to find creative ways to discharge their duties to prove that their appointment is not a mistake.
He noted the governor’s passion for excellence, which necessitated Kanu’s new role, adding that his work is well cut out.
Citing Kanu’s early days at Iwuanyanwu Nationale Football Club in Owerri, and the numerous honours in football, the Chief of Staff expressed the hope that the ex-Arsenal star will replicate excellence in Enyimba FC.
According to him, as a football star, a lot is expected from him as Abians look up to him to get it right.
