The victorious D’Tigress team and some members of the Nigeria Basketball Federation board led by its president, Musa Kida, paid a courtesy call on the newly appointed Minister of Sport, Dare Sunday, in his office in Abuja.
The brief ceremony which had the Permanent Secretary and high ranking officials of the Ministry of Sports in attendance saw the presentation of the 2019 Afrobasket Women trophy to the Minister. While presenting the trophy, NBBF President, Kida described the occasion as a significant one which marks the beginning of many things to come for the new minister while in office.
He said the courtesy call was the federation’s way of welcoming the Minister to office while celebrating the 2019 Afrobasket feat with him as the number one sports administrator in Nigeria. “We are glad as a federation that we are the first to welcome the new minister to office with a trophy which we won in Senegal,” Kida said. “This is not just another event for us as NBBF, it is a landmark achievement as we have been presented with such a golden opportunity to interface personally with the Honourable Minister.”
