The programme took place at the National Stadium in Surulere, Lagos, recently to conclude the third season of the Jr. NBA & AFD Basketball Experience.
The Director of NBA Africa Communications, Chumani Bambani, said, “The Jr. NBA & AFD Basketball Experience is a youth development program that features weekly basketball and life skills sessions to educate African youth about the importance of physical and mental health and well-being.
“The initiative also aims to use basketball as a platform to promote social inclusion and inspire secondary school children as change-makers in their communities.
“Over the past three years, the programme has reached more than 40,000 youths from 54 schools in Lagos through basketball clinics and life skills sessions.”
Speaking at the programme, General Consul of France in Nigeria, Laurent Favier, said that through the support of the French Embassy, a series of programs had been organized in the last two years to promote sporting inclusion in Nigeria.
