World Basketball governing body, FIBA failed to deliberate on the leadership crisis rocking the Nigeria Basketball Federation (NBBF).
FIBA’s Central Board met for the last time this year in Switzerland yesterday to take far-reaching decision on the game, but failed to deliberate on Nigeria. Many had hoped that FIBA would give a final verdict on the NBBF leadership crisis, but it failed to do so.
With the expiration of the November 30 deadline given to Nigeria to solve the problem, FIBA pronouncement would have pointed the way forward for basketball in the country. FIBA’S silent over the matter means that there is a lacuna in the administration of the game in the country.
In a communique released by FIBA’S Communications Director, Patrick Koller, the Central Board confirmed the creation of a task force in Peru, where the validity of the elections at the country’s basketball governing body have been the subject of dispute for a prolonged period of time.
