Dikko said:

"We didn't speak much about it. Musa is someone who is more concerned about giving back to the club that made him and he is not coming here to do this for money. He is not getting paid for playing for Pillars. That is the kind of person he is."

Dikko also explained that Musa's short term deal was about Nigerian top professionals being assigned by the League Management Committee (LMC) to a club of their choice or a team can identify and sign such players.

He added:

"We spoke to him about coming back home to play, and as someone who is always ready to give back, he did not hesitate.
"Once the agreement was signed, the choice of which club to play for was up to him. A number of clubs wanted him. We put everything in front of him and he made the decision to go to Kano Pillars."

Musa was unveiled with the club's No.7 shirt and could play his first game away at Warri Wolves on April 28, 2002.
