A three-day basketball camp for the North-Eastern part of Nigeria to be sponsored by Adamu Yola Ture Foundation and Jordan Nwora Foundation will dunk off on April 9 in Gombe.
The camp which is designed for young boys and girls between the ages of 14 to 19 will be drawn from six North-East states namely Adamawa, Bauchi, Borno, Gombe, Taraba and Yobe State.
Pastor Yakubu Adamu Yola said the tournament is to restate the foundation’s commitment to creating opportunities to empower young basketball players from their zone.
“I am very delighted to say that the Foundation has agreed on terms with Jordan Nwora Foundation for a Junior Basketball Camp for the entire North-East states.
“The major benefit of the camp is to give American Basketball/Education Scholarship opportunities to outstanding campers,” he stated.
Consequently, Yola disclosed that organisers of the camp have agreed to host 60 boys, 40 girls, 9 male and 7 female coaches in the 3-day event.
The Ministries of Youths and Sports of all the six northeast states are said to be glad for the opportunity to develop basketball in the zone.
Renowned kits manufacturing company, Adidas is the official kit supplier for the tournament.
