“We are proud to leave a legacy where people’s lives are not only transformed but they are set up for a future that changes everything for them. Since its inception, the MILO Basketball Championship has served as a powerful platform for helping children imbibe values that pave the way for success in life,” he said.

He stressed that sports have contributed immensely to both academic excellence and the mental alertness of students. “Through sports, children learn grit, perseverance, and the qualities that lay a strong foundation for their futures. We are committed to shaping a better and healthier world for generations to come by fostering these values,” he added.

The president, International Basketball Federation (FIBA) Africa Zone 3, Col. Sam Amedu, appreciated the organisers for their contribution to the growth of basketball, saying the school-grade competition has salvaged the sport from going into extinction in the country. “Without MILO school basketball championship, technical speaking there will be no basketball in Nigeria,” Amedu stated.
