Former Super Eagles captain Ahmed Musa is reportedly close to sealing a deal to acquire Mighty Jets FC, one of Nigeria’s most historic football clubs.
Sources indicate that the proposed takeover could be worth around $10 million, a move that would place the Jos-born forward among a growing number of Nigerian players investing in the domestic game.
Musa, who currently combines playing duties with an administrative role at Kano Pillars, has continued to expand his influence beyond the pitch through club management and development initiatives.
His work at Kano Pillars has focused on structural reforms and modernization, reflecting a broader ambition to improve football administration in Nigeria.
The potential acquisition carries personal significance, as Musa was born and raised in Jos and has consistently supported grassroots football in the city, alongside investments in education.
Founded in the early 1970s, Mighty Jets remain one of Nigeria’s most iconic clubs, having won the country’s first national league title in 1972 and producing respected figures such as Ismaila Mabo and Sam Garba Okoye.
Despite their rich history, the club has struggled in recent years, dropping to the Nigeria National League after financial setbacks and years of decline.
Musa’s proposed takeover is widely seen as an opportunity to restore stability, funding, and long-term planning, with hopes of returning Mighty Jets to the top tier of Nigerian football.
With 111 international caps and a record as Nigeria’s top scorer at the FIFA World Cup, Musa’s legacy remains firmly established, and this move could mark a new chapter in his contribution to the growth of the game.
