The Langtang North Amateur Football Association (LAFA), under the leadership of its Chairman, Amb. Miri Timnan Nyantau (M.T.N), has expressed heartfelt gratitude to the Executive Chairman of Langtang North, Hon. Pirfa Jingfa Tyem, for releasing the first tranche of ₦3,000,000 to support the team’s participation in the Governor’s Cup.
This marks the first of such direct interventions, and the gesture has been warmly received by the entire football family in the Local Government.
Hon. Tyem directed that ₦30,000 be given to each of the 25 players to purchase boots, while the remaining funds are to be used for logistics, feeding, and other essential needs of players, coaches, and officials.
He further assured that additional funding will be provided as the team advances to the next stage of the tournament.
Sharing the joyful news with the squad in Jos, the LAFA Chairman urged the players to repay the Chairman’s confidence and generosity with an exceptional performance on the field.
Amb. Nyantau, who also doubles as the National President of Tarok Progressive Youth Association, (TAPYA), the umbrella body of Tarok Youth Worldwide, reminded the players that they carry the pride of the Tarok nation.
He encouraged them to be exemplary ambassadors through their conduct and character, noting that every action on and off the pitch reflects on the image of the Tarok people.
To add motivation, he promised to host both the Langtang North and Langtang South teams to a celebratory dinner provided they record victories in their matches.
The technical crew and players, visibly moved by the support, expressed profound appreciation to the Executive Chairman, Hon Pirfa Jingfa Tyem
The Chairman who owns Bhuzu FC was described as a passionate football administrator.
They pledged to give their all, “soaking their socks” in commitment, and vowed to represent not just Langtang North but the entire Tarok nation with honour.
