Nigeria Basketball Federation, NBBF, South East Zone, says it has mapped out plans to ensure that the zone recorded tremedous successes in the dunking and slamming sport.

This formed the high point of their resolution during the zone’s inaugural meeting in Owerri.

The meeting focused on charting a new course aimed at achieving results.

South-East representive in the board of NBBF, Ugo Udezue, said the move was geared towards taking robust action to redress the challenges confronting the zone.

“We had a good direction and a good start for what we are trying to do because we know that we have a lot of challenges ahead of us”, starts Udezue.

“To overcome those challenges, we have to do extraordinary things.

“We are not trying to be abnormal but we are trying to be different, mean and effective.”

Similarly, Victor Okoro, who is Abia State Basketball Association Chairman, believes that the basketball clinic hosted by his Imo State counterpart in conjunction with basketball players in the diaspora, will attract development of the game in the zone.

He further eulogies his Imo State Basketball Association chairman for initiating such a ‘giant stride’.

“This is a great one, and something that we have been looking forward to”, Okoro said.

“As Chairmen of South-East States Basketball Associations, we have all come here to support one of our own, Kelechi Anosike, for his ability to bring most of our players in the diaspora to contribute to the growth of the game in the zone.

“One of the reasons we came together is to hold an inaugural meeting of the NBBF South East zone to draw a road map and try to see how we can bring all our players in the zone together and also see how we can develop the game.

“On our own part, we want to make sure that the youths are engaged in sports using basketball as a tool”, the Abia State Basketball Association boss stressed.
