As the curtain falls this weekend on the seven-day West Africa Little League Tournament at the Igbobi, College Lagos, a new milestone has been achieved in the development of baseball and softball in Nigeria and by extension, the subregion.
Nigeria has long been a powerhouse in the global sports arena, with its athletes excelling in various disciplines such as Mixed Martial Arts (MMA), the National Football League (NFL), NBA, Soccer, and Athletics among many other disciplines in the past years.
Now, the nation is gradually making inroads into the realm of baseball and softball through the Little League program.
