Minister of Sports Development, Senator John Owan Enoh, has commended the Nigerian Basketball Federation (NBBF), led by Engr. Musa Kida, for their organisation of the Women’s Basketball League Final Four, held in Lagos from October 17 to 19, 2023.

The Minister was present at the National Stadium, Surulere, Lagos, where he witnessed a thrilling match between MFM Basketball and Nigerian Customs. MFM Basketball clinched the title with a 64-60 victory.

Senator Enoh showered encomiums on the Lagos-based team for their tenacity, determination, and resilience displayed on their path to securing the championship. He expressed his enthusiasm about the quality of the games and the wealth of talent available for potential national team selections.

“In this Final Four, the level of competition we have seen unequivocally demonstrates the significant progress women’s basketball has made,” Senator Enoh stated.

It is a testament to our wealth of talent, both locally and abroad. When this kind of talent is available both home and abroad, the best of the best from Nigeria can beat any team.

“We are blessed with an abundance of talent, and I’m confident that scouts and coaches have been closely monitoring these proceedings. I extend my heartfelt congratulations to MFM Basketball for their inaugural league title. Their journey to victory was filled with determination and hard work. It’s also heartening to see privately-owned clubs excelling
