The Nigerian Government has Dsisolved INTERIM MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE For Basketball.
It will be recalled that the Federal Government in addressing the lingering crisis in the Nigeria Basketball Federation (NBBF) had cause to set up an Interim Management Committee (IMC) on 4th June, 2022 following Nigeria’s withdrawal from International competitions for two years.
Consequently, with the Federal Government’s rescission from its earlier withdrawal of Nigeria Basketball from the International scene and relisting the NBBF, beginning from Nigeria’s participation in FIBA Basketball World Cup 2023 Africa Qualifiers in Kigali, Rwanda, the continuation of the IMC is no longer necessary.
The Federal Ministry of Youth and Sports Development hereby announces the dissolution of the Interim Management Committee for Nigeria Basketball with immediate effect.
The Ministry in the same connection through a statement by the Director, Press and Public Relations, Mr Mohammed Manga, wishes to thank the Chairman and Members of the now defunct Committee for their invaluable services to the Basketball family and the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
