Basketball referees’ strike over unpaid allowances disrupts Atlantic Conference playoffs

A strike by referees at the ongoing Atlantic Conference Ibadan Playoffs of the 2023 Nigeria Basketball Premier League on Friday disrupted matches at the centre.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the officials embarked on the strike because of unpaid allowances, leading to the stoppage of the day’s first match.

They claimed that they were yet to be paid any of the allowances for feeding and accommodation since the competition tipped off on Sunday.
