NBBF Electoral Committee Clears Candidates for Congress
The Nigeria Basketball Federation (NBBF) Electoral Committee has finalized the screening of candidates for the upcoming elective congress scheduled for October 15 in Abuja. The committee, chaired by Dr Lanre Glover, has cleared four presidential aspirants: former D’Tigers captain Olumide Oyedeji, Igoche Mark, Mustapha Abdullahi, and former D’Tigers star Ejike Ugboaja.
Ayo Bakare was disqualified due to the late submission of his nomination forms, which arrived at 2.12pm on October 8, 12 minutes past the 2pm deadline. Ugo Udezue is the sole candidate for vice president.
Zonal positions feature two candidates each for the South-South, North West, and South West, while the North East, North Central, and South East have one candidate each. The committee has set conditions for the candidates, including a tax clearance submission deadline for Igoche Mark.
The congress will commence at 9am on October 15, following the publication of the final list of qualified candidates.
