Kanu To Take Over As Enyimba Chairman

Former Super Eagles captain, Nwankwo Kanu is to take over as new chairman of Nigeria Premier League champions, Enyimba.

This development follows the dissolution of the former board of the Peoples’ Elephant by the Abia State Government earlier this week.

Over the past 23 years, the team had been under the leadership of Felix Anyansi-Agwu, who steered Enyimba to an impressive nine NPL titles and two CAF Champions League victories.
