The President of the Wheelchair Basketball Federation of Nigeria, Seyi Johnson, said the championship was a chance for the players to get the opportunity to represent Nigeria at the African Para Games in Ghana in September 2024. He said the current board is working round the clock to ensure Nigeria returns to its rightful position in Africa.

“The current board plans to leave a legacy in Wheelchair Basketball. The journey has been tedious but we are optimistic about making a mark,” Johnson said. “We are ready to organise various championships across the country.”

“Wheelchair Basketball will make Nigeria proud and will be a thing of joy and pride to sports in this country. Ahead of the African Para Games in Ghana, the national coaches are on the ground to monitor the players and sports talents.”
