The Federal Ministry of Youth and Sports Development has constituted a seven man reconciliatory committee to resolve the lingering crises rocking the Nigeria Basketball Federation (NBBF).
In a statement signed by the Permanent Secretary, Ismaila Abubakar, the Ministry gave the terms of reference of the committee as looking into the claims of the contending parties for the leadership of the Basketball Federation and reviewing any other matter or areas of conflict.
Apart from amicably resolving the disagreements and disaffections within the Nigeria Basketball Federation, they are also to reposition the game for development in Nigeria.
