FG to Suspend Nigeria’s Basketball Teams From International Competition

The Federal Government has revoked its decision to suspend Nigeria’s basketball teams from all international competitions.

Permanent Secretary Ministry of Youth and Sports Development Ismaila Abubakar revealed that the decision is based on a letter of appeal from the Nigeria Basketball Federation, NBBF.

Before the reversal of the ban, FIBA had replaced the D’Tigress with Mali ahead of the FIBA Women’s World Cup to be held later in the year.
