Jigawa Golden Stars Football Club Urgently Needs Restructuring

Establish a committee of key stakeholders to craft a comprehensive Jigawa State sports development….

By Ali Rabiu Ali Gwaram, Dutse

The Jigawa Golden Stars Football Club, established in 1991, was intended to rival top Nigerian and African football clubs. Despite early success and pride, the club has failed to achieve significant results, leading to its impending relegation to the lowest national league. This decline poses a moment of disgrace for the Jigawa State government and citizens.

A recent incident where a player was accused of scoring a goal with his hands during a home game in Dutse has tarnished the club’s image and reflected poorly on the state. The indigenous people of Jigawa refuse to tolerate this decline and demand immediate action.

Recommendations for Immediate Action:

  1. The government should promptly dismiss the current management committee and establish a new independent committee to investigate the club’s activities and financial integrity from 2020 to 2024.
  2. Consider transforming Jigawa Golden Stars into a government-owned entity to ensure accountability and efficiency.
  3. Establish a committee of key stakeholders to craft a comprehensive Jigawa State sports development plan to guide future initiatives and investments.
  4. Enact legislation outlining strict criteria for the management committee and staff, including terms of office, responsibilities, disciplinary measures, and dissolution protocols.

We appreciate the loyal supporters of Jigawa Golden Stars Football Club and the entire populace of Jigawa State for their patience amidst challenges posed by a few individuals.
