Never Before Seen: Daddy Darazo Unites Bauchi NLO Clubs with Landmark Support, Four million Naira (N4,000,000) Disbursed β
It is with considerable admiration that I bring to the fore the noteworthy contribution of Alhaji Usman Shehu Ya'u Darazo (Daddy/Dado), a distinguished politician, philanthropist, and President of Darazo Football Academy. In an unparalleled act within Bauchi's footballing history, Daddy Darazo has elongated significant financial support to all eight of the state's indigenous Nationwide League One (NLO1) clubs participating in the current league.
Each club, encompassing community-based teams such as Zabgai International FC, Bauchi Wunti FC, and Kufca Azare FC, alongside privately owned entities like ABJ FC, Adamu Jumba FC, Misau United, Warinje FC, and even government-affiliated clubs, has received a substantial sum of Five hundred thousand Naira (N500,000). This magnanimous gesture, totalling N4,000,000 (Four million Naira) was conferred directly at a recent colloquium on 23/April 2025 reflecting Daddy Darazo's vision for Bauchi State to achieve footballing prominence akin to Lagos and Abuja.
This level of comprehensive support, devoid of partiality, marks a historic moment in Bauchi's nearly six decades of footballing activity. While the beneficiaries have yet to publicly express their gratitude through formally on media. I, Faisal Ahmad Hassan Akarami, on their behalf and that of the wider Bauchi community, protract our utmost appreciation to Daddy Darazo. We commend his timely generosity and wish him continued blessings.
