Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Federal Ministry of Youth and Sports Development on Monday said it has placed an indefinite suspension on the Nigeria Basketball Federation (NBBF) Elective Congress scheduled for Saturday.<\/p>\n

Recall that following the Federation\u2019s extraordinary Congress, the Musa Kida-led Caretaker Committee had approved Oct. 30 for elections into the board.<\/p>\n

The Congress held on Oct. 9 in Abuja also ratified Benin as the host city for the NBBF Elective Congress, while also adopting the proposed Electoral Committee to be chaired by Lanre Glover.<\/p>\n

However, a statement by the Ministry\u2019s Permanent Secretary, Ismaila Abubakar, on Monday directed an indefinite suspension of the Congress.<\/p>\n

\u201cHaving reviewed the crisis around the NBBF and in consideration of the several attempts by the supervising Ministry to resolve the lingering crisis and factionalisation in the basketball family, the FMYSD hereby directs an indefinite suspension of the NBBF Elective Congress.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll concerned stakeholders are expected to take note and comply,\u201d the statement said.<\/p>\n

It added that the decision became necessary to avert further deterioration of the leadership crisis and was geared towards finding a workable solution to the current disagreements within the Federation.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe rancour-free development of basketball in Nigeria is of utmost importance,\u201d the Ministry stated further.<\/p>\n

It, however, noted that recent elections into the NBBF Board from the various constituencies, such as Zones, NAWIS, Military\/Paramilitary, NAPHER.SD and others, stand.<\/p>\n

\u201cThose elected therefore remain Members-Elect,\u201d it added.<\/p>\n
