Nigeria National League side Wikki Tourists have appointed veteran coach Abdu Maikaba ahead of the 2024/25 NPFL season.
The club on Thursday announced the signing of the former Nigeria U-17 coach after the expiration of his contract with four-time Nigeria Premier Football League champions Kano Pillars at the end of the 2023/24 season.
The arrival of Maikaba at the club shows purpose for the Bauchi-based team who are hoping to gain promotion to the NPFL next season having suffered relegation during the 2023 abridged league season.
Having started his coaching career with FC Abuja (formally Buffalo FC) in 2006, Abdu Maikaba has gone on to become one of the most experienced coaches in the country’s domestic league having managed clubs such as Kano Pillars, Enugu Rangers, Plateau United Akwa United and Enyimba.
