The President of the Nigeria Basketball Federation, Engr Musa Kida is really hurt over the continued absence of a robust Premier League in Nigeria for men which for the past three years has been the centre of a legal tussle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The President said that as a country with huge potential in basketball, there should be a high competitive basketball league for men which will give players, coaches and officials a chance to develop their skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Having recently acquired a 150m naira sponsorship deal from Total Nigeria for the Divisions One and Two leagues, Kida said that organizing a robust premier league would never have been a problem without the legal encumbrances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
