The Nigeria Basketball Federation,NBBF
has congratulated Nigerian-American basketball star, Chinenye
Ogwumike,who was picked first overall by the Connecticut Sun in the
2014 WNBA Draft.
Chinenye,who replicated her older
sister Nneka's stellar career in Stanford, joins her stand-out
sibling in the WNBA and both typify the relentless and resilient
Nigerian spirit.
The NBBF is particularly excited with
the huge interest both Chinenye and Nneka have in helping to develop
especially women's basketball in Nigeria for which discussions opened
when Chinenye was in Nigeria for her internship last year.
The federation wishes both girls a
successful career in the WNBA and thanks their family for encouraging
and supporting them to maintain regular touch with and give back to
their Nigerian roots.
