The Federal Ministry of Youth and Sports Development dissolved the Interim Management Committee for Nigeria Basketball with immediate effect.
This is contained in a statement by the Director, Press and Public Relations of the Ministry, Mr Mohammed Manga in Abuja on Wednesday.
The ministry, he added,thanked the Chairman and Members of the defunct Committee for their invaluable services to the Basketball family and the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
The Reporters recalls that the Federal Government, in addressing the lingering crisis in the Nigeria Basketball Federation (NBBF),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.
