The management of Nigeria National League (NNL) side, Niger Tornadoes has assured merit will be the watchword of the side's ongoing recruitment exercise for the 2013/2014 season.
The Minna-based side are currently conducting a screening exercise at the Bako Kontagora Stadium in Minna with a huge turn out of players preparatory for the new NNL season billed to kick off on November 6.
Tornadoes chairman, Dattijo Aliyu, said the management will not interfere in the exercise nor determine, who eventually gets the nod to campaign for the side in prosecuting the 2013/14 NNL season aimed at returning the team to the Premier League.
"The management has vowed to allow the coaches free-hands in the selection of players for the upcoming season as we won't want complaints at the end of the season.
"We'll provide enabling environment for the coaches and players to meet the mandate of qualifying the team to the elite league next season.
"Renovation work has started at the team's camp as equipment and kits will be provided to further boost the team on the task ahead.
"We've witnessed huge turn out of players at the screening exercise, surely not everyone will be taken. Those who won't make the list should kindly take their rejection in good faith.
"It will be a huge challenge for the successful ones as the burden and mandate to return the team to the elite league will fall on their shoulders.
"We want the players to be disciplined, dedicated and committed towards the club aspirations. I want to use this occasion to call on the citizens to massively support the team as they go about their daunting task," Aliyu said to supersport.com.
Tornadoes technical adviser, Bala Nkiyu assured the end product of the screening will assist the team towards returning to the elite league.
"Players are to be selected based on merit as we won't compromise on players' fitness," said the former Super Falcons assistant coach to supersport.com.
Captain of the side, Mustapha Aliko assured the players will do their best to see to the return of the side to the Premier League.
Tornadoes missed promotion narrowly to the top flight in the 2012/13 NNL season.
