The Nigeria Customs women Basketball team, have heaped praises on the Acting Comptroller-General of Customs, Bashir Adewale Adeniyi, and the Secretary General, Nigeria Customs Service sports unit, Samuel Onikeku, for their supports and encouragement leading to the qualification of the team or the final of the 2023 edition of the league.
According to the coach of the team, Abdulrahman Mohammed, who spoke on behalf of the team said they will be doing the CG and SG a lot of disservice if they had failed to qualify for the final where they will be facing three others for the ultimate prize.
The Nigerian Customs Women Basketball team defeated Nigeria Army 76- 36 points to seal their place in the finals to be staged in Lagos later in the year with two games of the Second Phase of the Savanna Conference to go.
“On behalf of the ladies, I want to use this opportunity to appreciate our Comptroller-General and Secretary General for seeing to the welfare of the ladies to get to this level,” he said.
“We are through to the finals in Lagos but the main target is to win the trophy because we will be doing our principals a lot of disservice if we failed to achieve that.
“The CG personally sometimes comes around to witness the team’s training and always encourage us to go all out for victories and that’s what we have been doing in all our games and I am happy that we are in the final stage of the competition.”
Nigerian Customs won all their games in the First Phase played in Jos and already won all the games played so far in Lafia, Nasarawa State.
