Manga said that the committee would revamp the game and its domestic leagues in the country.
“The committee is to draw up programmes that will revamp basketball from the grassroots in Nigeria, revive its moribund domestic leagues and attract cooperate sponsors for the development of the game,” Manga said.
He said that the members of the committee were Henry Nzekwu, Udon Ubon Humapwa, Frank Jitubhoh Zenith Bank Representative, Prof. Adamu Ahmed and Peter Nelson.
