Nigerian basketball badly damaged, in need of time to recover – Bakare

Former national coach Ayo Bakare says the leadership crisis that rocked the Nigeria Basketball Federation (NBBF) between 2017 and 2022 has really hindered the sport’s development in the country.

The head coach of Ebun Comets of Lagos told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Ibadan on Sunday that what went on could be likened to a civil war.

“The fight took a lot of casualties. But, of course, a war between brothers is always one of attrition. I understand the damage this has done.
