The Wikki boss used this opportunity to commend and thank the Bauchi State Government for its morale and financial support without which the club would have found itself in relegation.
Alhaji Chindo, however, appealed to government to release funds for the payment of players’ sign-on fees and other allowances for the 2011/2012 season and to release a substantial amount as a take off grant to enable the management start preparation of the 2012/2013 in good time.
