The President of Jigawa State Basketball Association, Prof. MM Abubakar, commended Engr. Musa Kida has led the board of the Nigeria Basketball Federation (NBBF) for what he described as significant achievements in the development of the game, particularly at the grassroots and international levels.
Abubakar, who spoke after the NBBF Extraordinary Congress in Yola, Adamawa State, described the congress as peaceful despite attempts by some individuals to distract the proceedings.
The Jigawa basketball chief said stakeholders should pay more attention to the achievements of the outgoing administration, especially in category and international basketball.
Many people spoke, but no one spoke about the achievements of the Musa Kida board of directors. They have achieved so much in terms of age basketball and international basketball,” Abubakar said.
He noted that the Kida-led administration has taken Nigerian basketball to a level the sport has not reached in a long time, urging the incoming leadership to consolidate the progress already made.
Our prayer is that the next NBBF president will look at the findings of the previous board and build on them,” he said.
Abubakar also called for greater unity among stakeholders, stressing the need for an administration that prioritizes the collective development of basketball across the country.
We hope that from this moment on there will be no more internal resentments. We want to have free and fair elections and then a council that does what everyone wants to do,” he added.
