NBBF inaugurate sub-committees

President of the Nigeria Basketball Federation, Tijjani Umar last weekend inaugurated all its standing committees at the boardroom of the Murtala Mohammed Square, Kaduna.

Inauguration of the various sub-committees became imperative according to the president of the federation.

Though some members of the various committees were not on ground during the inauguration exercise which was done before the jump-ball of the national Division-One Championship going in Kaduna due to the short notice, but the NBBF president is optimistic that members into each of the sub-committees have been carefully selected due to their records.

Umar, however, charged members to always make meaningful input to the development of the game in Nigeria.

Development of the game of basketball in our dear country is a collective one and I want to urge members of various committees to always give their best in their area of comparative advantage so that we can collectively leave a legacy behind for coming generations.

I am confident that members will give their best and see their selection to serve in the committees they have fond themselves as a call to duty.

I am confident that at the end of our tenure we will be able to beat our chest that we have contributed our best to the development of the game in our country.

Among the committees inaugurated by the NBBF president are the Advisory Council otherwise known as the Elders Council; Media and Publicity; Medical & Anti-Doping; Mini and Youth Basketball; Facility and Capacity Development.

Other committees includes, Women Development; Adjudication & Disciplinary; Technical and Marketing/ Sponsorship.

Also inaugurated to begin work immediately is the newly constituted league board.
