2018 Total NBBF Division 2 Starts Oct. 2

By Admin The leadership of the Nigeria Basketball Federation has announced the October 2nd as the new date for the National final 8 of the 2018 Total NBBF Division 2. The decision was taken by the federation during its last board meeting held in Lagos during the last window of the FIBA World Cup qualifiers. Despite the earlier date of September 16-22 for the games holding in Lagos, the NBBF agreed that since the 2018 Total NBBF National Division 2 finals was the inaugural edition, there was the need to give it all the necessary attention needed. “We just finished the FIBA World Cup qualifiers and many people are still talking about it. Come Saturday, the D’Tigress will start their World Cup campaign in Tenerife, Spain and all attention will be on them too. “So, we thought holding the Total NBBF National Division 2 finals in-between these 2 global events will in no small way drown the necessary attention that should be given to the National finals,” NBBF President, Engineer Musa Kida said. He said the federation will leave no stone unturned in ensuring that the players at every level are the focal point of the federation’s attention. Nigeria Prisons Reformers (Niger) will slug it out with Nasarawa Golden Touch, Taraba Hurricanes, Bukavu Blinks (Kano), CAMAC (Bayelsa), Coal City (Enugu), Ondo Kings (Akure) and Brave Hearts for the Total NBBF National Division 2 title between the 2nd and 6th of October.
