The New Face of Basketball, a group of basketball stakeholders, expressed concern about the subtle imposition of Musa Kida as President of Nigeria Basketball Federation NBBF.
The group told newsmen in Abuja that Kida has been imposed by the Minister of Youth and Sports Development, Sunday Dare, on Nigerian basketball, warning that the development will do the sport no good.
The group, represented by four members, added that the Minister’s action was illogical, irrational, unreasonable and a miscarriage of justice.
The Nigerian basketball family, which had since 2017 been sharply divided, slid further into a state of disarray on January 31st.
The Federal Ministry of Youth and Sports Development had issued a directive that the NBBF election should hold in Abuja just like the other sports federations did in 2021.
