The newly elected President of the Nigeria Basketball Federation, NBBF, Igoche Mark, has called for unity among the stakeholders to build the sport, and bounce it back to global class, just as he appreciated those that elected his board that will rescue the sport from hands of death.
Mark implored everyone to unite with his board, as he said “let us together build the game of basketball. Enough of bickering, backbiting and campaign of calumny”.
“On behalf of the board of the Nigeria Basketball Federation NBBF, I want to thank all stakeholders who came out Monday to rescue basketball from hands of death. This they did by electing us to run the affairs of this federation, the NBBF.
“As promised in my speech, we are committed with strong zest in reviving basketball; especially by organising a viable domestic league, train our technical officials, build capacity of our coaches and also, improve the welfare of our players, (home and abroad).
“In the coming days, the board of NBBF shall release a detailed blueprint of our developmental programmes and other deliverables we intend to achieve.
“My plea is for everyone to unite with us and let us together build the game of basketball. Enough of bickering, backbiting and campaign of calumny.
“Together, let’s build this game, as the dark days are over”, Igoche Mark said.
