Embattled Musa Kida’s bid to retain his seat as Nigeria Basketball Federation, NBBF, President may have hit rock following the immediate dissolution of the Caretaker Committee.
A letter from the Federation referenced NBBF/M.31/2021/Vol.IV/93 of October 26, 2021 and signed by Afolabi-Oluwayemi Olabisi sums it up for Kida to look elsewhere.
The letter partly reads: “As you may recall that the Honourable Minister of Youth and Sports Development, Mr. Sunday Dare, on 4th May, 2021, inaugurated the Caretaker Committees for 31 National Sports Federations, including Basketball, to run the affairs of the respective Federations ahead of election of their new Boards.
“As the Nigeria Basketball Federation prepares for its Elective Congress, I am directed to inform you that the Federation’s Caretaker Committee has been dissolved with immediate effect.
