By Oyediji Oluwaseun Babatunde

The new Technical Adviser of Wikki Tourist, Abdul Maikaba, said he would not accept anything short of performance and good conduct, are major part of his philosophy.

The former Kano Pillars gaffer made this statement during the team’s first training session on Tuesday.

This comes just days after he was appointed Technical Adviser as he targets promotion to the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL).

The two-time NPFL title winners insists success is achieved only through hard work and therefore charged the players to show commitment.

“I will not condone any act that will be detrimental to our quest and program for the season, which is bringing back the club to the Premier League,” said Maikaba.

He then solicits the support and cooperation of all for success to be achieved.

Meanwhile, the chairman of the Club, Engr Auwal Gotal, asserted that any player wishing to wear the Colours of Wikki Tourists FC for the 2024/2025 Nigeria National League (NNL) season should exhibit a high level of discipline and competence.

Gotal disclosed this while addressing players at the Abubakar Tafawa Balewa Stadium.

He emphasized the importance of the two attributes to any meaningful project, especially football.

“Anyone of you that will wear our jersey for next season must merit it. That’s why you should work hard and be disciplined,” he added.
