Kano Pillars Exit Sparks New Hope as Yakasai Nears Move to Bichi First FC
Good evening and we’re keeping a close eye on developments in Nigeria’s second-tier football league tonight, because a familiar name is on the move and it could have real consequences for the promotion race.
Midfielder Umar Sani Yakasai is edging closer to a switch to Bichi First FC, one of the newest and most ambitious sides in the Nigeria National League. This comes after his time with Kano Pillars came to an early end. Pillars, one of the most established clubs in the Nigeria Premier Football League, decided to terminate Yakasai’s contract after the first half of the season, effectively bringing his stay to a close.
Now, this is a player with top-flight experience and that matters. Yakasai has already been spotted training with Bichi First, which is often the clearest sign that a deal is not just talk, but close to being done. The expectation is that the move will be sealed before the transfer window shuts.

For Bichi First FC, this is more than just another signing. This is a statement. The club is still new at this level, but they are already making noise. Right now, they sit second in Conference D, with 13 points from seven matches. That’s a strong position and it tells you they are not in this league to make up the numbers.
Adding a midfielder like Yakasai could give them something extra. Experience in tight games. Calm under pressure. And leadership in the middle of the pitch, especially in a league where fine margins often decide who goes up and who misses out.
For Yakasai himself, this move looks like a reset. Leaving a big club like Kano Pillars can be a setback, but it can also be an opportunity. At Bichi First, he is likely to get regular minutes, more responsibility and a clear role in a team chasing promotion. Sometimes, that change of environment is exactly what a player needs to rediscover confidence and rhythm.
Looking ahead, the impact could be significant. If Yakasai settles quickly, Bichi First could strengthen their push toward the top of the table and put real pressure on their rivals. For the league, it’s another reminder that the NNL is becoming more competitive, with clubs willing to invest smartly and players eager to prove themselves.
So, as the transfer window ticks down, all signs point to this move being completed very soon. And when it is, all eyes will be on how quickly Umar Sani Yakasai can make his mark and whether this signing becomes a turning point in Bichi First FC’s promotion dream.
That’s the latest on this developing story and we’ll keep you updated as it unfolds.
