The Nigeria Basketball Federation (NBBF) has continued
re-strategizing with the aim of making major actors and stakeholders,
especially the staff of the federation key into the vision of
transforming the game to an enviable height.
This is also aimed at consolidating on recent successes recorded by the nation in Basketball,the NBBF in conjunction with BVS Professional Services,a
multidisciplinary consulting firm based in Lagos, held a two-day
brainstorming session in Abuja last Saturday and Sunday with federation
members and staff, technical and youth committee members, national team
coaches as well as technical officials of the game,
The
consultants, led by Oluyemi Abaolu-Johnson took the stakeholders
through the Strategic Planning Model which reappraised the current
Nigerian basketball landscape and administrative structure and arrived
at a new frontier with promising outcomes.
Speaking
at the session, NBBF president, Tijjani Umar stressed that the NBBF is
embarking on capacity building for its staff to make them understand
the vision of the board of making Nigerian basketball a reference point
in Nigerian sports administration and therefore own and help drive it.
Lead
consultant, Abaolu-Johnson stressed that his firm decided to partner
with the NBBF because it saw that the federation has a strong leadership
which needs an equally committed and resourceful staff to make
basketball a strong brand that will attract sponsors to help take the
game to the next level.
Basketball’s
world governing body, FIBA’s Special Advisor, Lubomir Kotleba whose
visit to the NBBF coincided with the strategizing session commended the
leadership of the Fedearation, stressing that “I don’t have much to
advise you on because you are already doing what I came here to
advocate.”
