Udezue, a former basketball international who once pitched his tent with Wyoming in the United States recounts his passion for the game of Sports and how the game has united Africans through the court.
He recognizes basketball as more than a game with his vision of having an ABL team in each African country
“My goal is to provide a safe and socially conducive entertaining environment with basketball as the epicenter”
The league featured six clubs from four countries in the first season that ended in May. They are Lagos Islanders, Lagos Warriors, Stallions (Nigeria); Abidjan Ramblers of Ivory Coast, Izobe Libreville (Gabon) and Dakar Rapids (Senegal).
