Explaining the terms of the deal, Shehu Dikko, Chairman of the LMC, told ESPN that the program works in two ways. A club can identify and sign such players, or the LMC itself can sign the player and assign them to a club of their choice.

According to Shehu, the LMC activated the second option for Musa.

“We spoke to him about coming back home to play, and as someone who is always ready to give back, he did not hesitate,” Dikko said.

“Once the agreement was signed, the choice of which club to play for was up to him. A number of clubs wanted him. We put everything in front of him and he made the decision to go to Kano Pillars.”

The LMC Chairman also disclosed that Musa dismissed any talk of remuneration and decided to play for free.
