The initiator of the Mark D’ Ball Basketball Championship, Mark Igoche, has said that if elected as the next president of the Nigeria Basketball Federation (NBBF), his priority will be to bring all stakeholders to a roundtable talk and move the game forward in Nigeria.
Igoche, who was fielding questions from newsmen on Sunday in Abuja, said peace and unity is sacrosanct if there will be any progress in any human setting.
He said, “The first thing I will do when elected as president of NBBF is to unite the house. We must come together because a house divided against itself cannot stand. Every individual in this sport has something unique to offer. We are very versatile and there’s no place you go to in the world without seeing a Nigerian doing exploits in the basketball ecosystem.

“We must be intentional by channelling all our energy to positively develop the game at home, and that responsibility falls on me when elected as president of NBBF.”
Responding to the claims that he lacks the required experience to run the NBBF, Igoche said, “Opportunity must be first presented to an individual before experience is gained. Running a federation like the NBBF is not a one-man affair, but by a board. I think that claim makes no logical sense because I don’t think any former NBBF President is in the race.”
