“I want to specifically appreciate Zenith Bank for facilitating this competition, we are hoping they will do more for basketball so that the day the NBA players will be coming, we will see their banner side by side with other sponsors and it will document what they have been doing for the game of basketball in Nigeria.

“We can bring NBA teams to Nigeria, we have hosted the World Cup in football, and other sports have been to Nigeria and basketball must have its place. All the other sports have been hosted and sponsored by the Nigeria government, they should do the same with basketball.

“Enough Nigerians are bringing fortunes from the NBA, so why can’t we bring the game here for our people? It will be on record that Nigeria has hosted superstars here.“

“I am calling on Zenith Bank and the NBBF to do something about this, the banner of the bank will be displayed everywhere and people will appreciate their support for basketball.”

Meanwhile, Nigerian Customs Ladies have sealed their spot in Lagos for the final after whitewashing Nigerian Army 76-36 on Thursday.
