Nigeria’s representatives at the upcoming Basketball Africa League (BAL) Championship in Morocco, MakTown Flyers have been urged to put in their best to make the country proud.

A top supporter of the club and basketball promoter, Igoche Mark, who visited the camp of the club over the weekend in Abuja harped on the need for the players to redouble their efforts.

He also promised to continue to support the team as they go in search of glory in North Africa.

“From the technical side, we are solid and I think what we should do is to put in more effort and tell the world that we are strong, resilient, and we don’t back down.

“On our part, we will do everything to ensure that you are comfortable. It is a two-way thing, I am giving you the assurance that we play our own part and you should play your part as well,” he added.

Mark, who said he would personally attend the championship to lend support to the team, expressed confidence in the team’s abilities.

“To show my support, I will personally be with you in Morocco and cheer you to victory, and I believe this team will make us proud, make Nigeria proud, and make Maktown Flyers proud.”

Team captain, Bright Akuiete, thanked Mark for his consistent support and promised that the team will not let the country down.

MakTown Flyers, under experienced coach AbduRahman Muhammad, emerged champions of the Nigeria Basketball League in 2025, defeating Rivers Hoopers to clinch the BAL ticket.
