President Muhammadu Buhari has approved the immediate return of Nigeria to international basketball competitions.
The Permanent Secretary, Federal Ministry of Youth and Sports Development, Ismaila Abubakar, says the approval was granted following a letter of appeal dated June 17, 2022, which was signed by Musa Kida, leader of the Nigeria Basketball Federation board, and addressed to the Minister of Youth and Sports Development, Sunday Dare.
Abubakar says despite the approval, the stakeholders were warned to ensure that the country’s laws are not subjugated to any other law.
