The president of the Nigeria Volleyball Federation (NVBF), Musa Nimrod, has donated five softballs to each of the 36 states, including the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
Speaking after a tournament final game that was organized to bring women volleyball players together and to keep the game alive, which would also spur many grassroots players to fight for entry into the national team.
He said the gesture was part of his birthday celebrations, which he marked with volleyball stakeholders in Nigeria on Sunday.
Nimrod stated that the balls were solely for developmental programs in various states and would be distributed by the zonal representatives of the NVBF.
