The Nigerian Customs Basketball Club coach, Scot Nnaji, has dared the world basketball governing body, FIBA, to ban Nigeria if they can, saying it

be a blessing in disguise for the country to put its house in order and restore its lost glory in the game of basketball.

“I’ll love for us not to have anything to do with FIBA for now and build our house back together. For four years, we have not played in any championship or done anything in-house. Most of our players are playing outside. “Let them ban us if they can and it will not stop us from playing basketball in Nigeria. It is only international matches they would not play and who are those going to lose, it is the people that are in FIBA.

The former d’Tigress coach described the ongoing final 8 of the Men’s Premier Basketball League at the Indoor basketball court of Moshood Abiola National Stadium, Abuja, as a turning point that has reunited Nigerian basketball referees, coaches, players and other stakeholders together.“We are supposed to have played a league before we get to this final 8 stage, but as you can see the players are eager to play ball after staying for four years without league.
