In a move that underscores his unyielding commitment to Nigerian basketball, Engineer Ahmed Musa Kida, President of the Nigeria Basketball Federation NBBF and Chairman of NNPC Plc, is set to jet out to Abidjan to rally behind D'Tigress as they prepare for an important quarter-final clash against Cameroon at the 2025 FIBA Women's AfroBasket.
On Thursday at 10pm Nigeria time, the Palais des Sports de Treichville will tremble as D'Tigress-Africa's reigning queens-seek to extend their historic dominance and inch closer to an unprecedented fifth consecutive AfroBasket title.
For eight transformative years, Musa Kida has been more than a federation president-he's been the heartbeat of Nigerian basketball.
From funding international campaigns to personally standing courtside during pivotal matches, his leadership has fueled D'Tigress' meteoric rise.
Under his watch, Nigeria stunned the world by defeating Canada at the Paris 2024 Olympics, becoming the first African team to reach the women's basketball quarterfinals at the Games.
