The President of Nigeria Wheelchair Basketball Federation Seyi Johnson has commended the effort of players and technical crew following their qualification for the 2023 African games.
Nigeria defeated Ghana, Gambia, and Senegal to seal qualification for the 2023 African Para Games in Ghana at the just concluded International Wheelchair Basketball Federation (IWBF) African Para Games qualifier in Accra on Sunday. Speaking after the feat, Seyi Johnson said :
“I am full of joy to see that the men’s wheelchair basketball team has qualified for next year’s African Para Games.
“The players showed dedication off and on the court to ensure Nigeria is represented at the African Games. They played every game like their lives depended on it for survival and they eventually brought home the ticket”.
However, the Nigeria Wheelchair Basketball women’s team has secured an automatic qualification.
