Proposal for Basketball Academy in ABU

Chief Felix Akiga, a professional basketball player and Chairman of Royal Choice Inn, has proposed the establishment of a world-class Basketball Academy in Ahmadu Bello University (ABU).

The proposed academy would collaborate with former NBA players and other professionals to identify and train basketball talents from an early age.

In addition to the sports development plan, Chief Akiga announced a CSR intervention to rehabilitate a busy road on campus, stretching from the Fountain Roundabout to the Pharmacy Roundabout.

The Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Adamu Ahmed, expressed gratitude for the proposals, describing them as "timely and transformative." He assured Chief Akiga of the management's commitment to reviewing and supporting the proposals, which aligns with the university's efforts to revitalize sports.
