By Oyediji Oluwaseun Babatunde
Niger Tornadoes has officially confirmed Majin Mohammed as the Club’s substantive Technical Adviser for the 2024/2025 Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) season.
The development happened at an unveiling ceremony held at the team’s Secretariat, Niger State Ministry of Youth and Sports Development on Wednesday.
Dignitaries present at the ceremony included Commissioner of Youth and Sports Development, Ibrahim Yahaya Gulbin-Boka, Permanent Secretary of the ministry, Dr. Nuhu Garba Ngaski, and top management members of the ministry.
In his address, Commissioner Gulbin-Boka praised the management for their decisive and timely decision to ensure the team’s safety last season and commended Mohammed for his exceptional performance in rescuing the team from the drop, urging him to exceed expectations now that he is fully in charge of the team.
Chairman of the Niger Tornadoes Management Committee, Engr. Ibrahim Dada FNSE, recounted Mohammed’s impressive achievements as Acting Technical Adviser, notably guiding the team from 19th position to avoiding relegation.
He emphasized that this success made Majin the ideal candidate for the substantive role, re-echoing the need for the Technical Adviser to step up his game as only his performance can guarantee his stay on the job.
Mohammed expressed his gratitude to the team’s management, his assistants, players, and the entire staff for their support in making his appointment a reality, pledging to build on the success, while vowing to work tirelessly to achieve even better results in the upcoming season.
“I’m thankful for the trust placed in me, and I’m committed to repaying that trust with hard work and dedication,” Mohammed said.
Last season, the team finished 14th on the 20-team NPFL log with 51 points after 38 games, three places, and five points above the relegation zone.
