The Federal Government of Nigeria has reversed its earlier decision barring the country’s basketball teams from participation in international competitions for two years.PREMIUM TIMES gathered a letter of appeal dated June 17, 2022, from the board signed by Musa Kida and addressed to the Honourable Minister of Youth and Sports Development, Sunday Dare as well as appeals from different quarters triggered the u-turn.
That decision was critici8zed in several quarters but the Minister stood his ground that it was the best thing to do to save basketball from dying; especially on the home front where there had been little or no activities. There were fears D’Tigers – the male team – would also suffer a similar fate with the men’s second phase World Cup qualifiers also approaching.
Cluelessness Government, you made the Tigress lose their spot after putting in their sweat blood and money into making History. Here you are reversing a ban after damage has been done
Confused government
The girls has already lost the chance to play in world championship . So Nigeria is the loser
