According to Iorfa, the appointment takes immediate effect and was made strictly on merit.
He explained that the decision was also intended to foster a stronger working relationship between the club, the media, and the Sports Writers Association of Nigeria (SWAN), particularly in Kano State.
The reconciliation meeting, which paved the way for the appointment, was facilitated by the Kano State chapter of SWAN under the leadership of its chairman, Zahradden Saleh.
It followed an incident that occurred after a Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) match involving Barau FC and Kun Khalifat FC.
Several sports journalists, club officials, and football stakeholders were present at the meeting, where the appointment was formally announced and welcomed as a positive step toward improved club–media relations.
