The Emir of Doma, Andoma of Doma, Dr. Aliyu Amadu, has called on the sponsor of the Women Basketball League in Nigeria, Zenith Bank, to do more for the sport in the country.

He stated this while receiving all the teams and officials participating in the second phase of the Savannah Conference of the ongoing Zenith Bank Women’s Basketball League in Lafia, Nasarawa State.

The Emir who was a former basketball player appreciated the bank and Nigeria Basketball Federation for allowing the state to host the national competition while assuring all the players and other visitors a great stay in the community.

The teams; Nigerian Customs, Nigerian Army, Air Warriors, Nasarawa Amazons and Plateau Rocks alongside their officials and all the referees were at the Andoma Palace on a courtesy visit while also getting the royal blessings.

“I want to welcome the ladies, who made this tournament possible, you are welcome to Nasarawa State and Doma Kingdom, the only palace in Nigeria with a basketball court,” he said.

“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.
