“You have showcased unparalleled skills, teamwork, and resilience throughout the tournament.’’
The ‘New Face of Basketball’, a group of basketball stakeholders, expresses concern about the “subtle imposition” of Musa Kida as president of NBBF.
The statement quoted NBBF President, Musa Kida, as saying he was glad to see a decision reached after the back and forth.
Nigerian basketball players on Tuesday asked the Minister of Youth and Sports Development, Sunday Dare, to resolve the lingering leadership crisis in NBB.
The Nigeria Basketball Federation (NBBF) says it has concluded plans to organise the national male and female basketball leagues.
The team had in a video shared on Twitter on October 13, accused Mr Dare of pocketing the $100,000 donation.
Mr Kida, who initially rejected the ministry’s directive and insisted that the elections go on as scheduled, has now made a U-turn.
Messrs Sunday Dare and Musa Kida are said to have diverted money meant for the basketball team.
