Stakeholders in Nigeria’s basketball have cautioned persons ‘peddling unfounded allegations’ that the Federal Government released the sum of N1 billion for the senior women national team to get their facts right in the interest of the game.
The source, who pleaded anonymity, added that the money is neither missing nor lodged in any escrow account with the Central Bank of Nigeria as alleged by Dalung. “How he could come on air to now allege the money was for D’Tigress, the national women basketball team, beats me.” “This created a problem for the Sports Ministry as the NBBF was not captured in our 2019 budget. Dare, who assumed office two days after the money was released, insisted the NBBF must get the lion share of the money and at a meeting held with the permanent secretary of the Sports Ministry and the NBBF, the sum of N850 million was approved for the NBBF, while N150 million was used to prosecute other international sporting activities.
