Ranchers Bees FC Bolsters Infrastructure with New Bus Acquisition Ahead of NNL Season
In a significant boost to the team’s infrastructure, Ranchers Bees Football Club has acquired a new bus ahead of the upcoming Nigeria National League (NNL) season. This development is a testament to the commitment of the club’s leadership, spearheaded by its supremo, Honourable Bello El-Rufai, and Super Eagles striker Sodiq Umar, who have pooled their resources to revive the historic Kaduna-based team.
According to reports, the Lawmaker, Bello El-Rufai acquired the new bus for the team.
Ranchers Bees, once a dominant force in Nigerian football during the 80s, 90s, and early 2000s, had faced a decline due to financial challenges. However, under the stewardship of El-Rufai and Umar, the team is poised for a resurgence. The club boasts an impressive legacy, having nurtured notable football talents such as Daniel Amokachi, Ali Nayara, Salisu Yusuf, Dahiru Sadi, Ayo Ogunlana, and Ishaya Jatau.
As Ranchers Bees prepares to kick off its campaign in the NNL, the team will face Gombe United in a highly anticipated home match. The new bus acquisition is expected to enhance the team’s logistics and overall performance, as they aim to make a strong impression in the league.
This development underscores the club’s determination to restore its former glory and provide Kaduna State with a source of pride and entertainment. With the new season just around the corner, starting on November 8th, Ranchers Bees fans are eagerly anticipating the team’s revival and success.
