NBA Africa Promotes Youth Basketball in Lagos

In recent developments, NBA Africa has continued its efforts to promote basketball and youth development in Lagos, Nigeria. The Jr. NBA and Agence Française de Développement (AFD) Basketball Experience concluded its third season with a significant impact on the local community.

The programme, which has been ongoing for the past three years, has reached over 40,000 youths from 54 schools in Lagos through basketball clinics and life-skills sessions. This initiative aims to use basketball as a platform to promote social inclusion, mental well-being, and inspire secondary school children as change-makers in their communities.

Key highlights of the programme include:
- A two-day symposium discussing core values, mental health, hygiene, and gender equality.
- A physical education teachers’ workshop to build capacity and enhance the learning experience for students.
- Financial support from the French Embassy to promote inclusion through sport across Nigeria.
