Nigeria Basketball Federation Dedicates Recent Victories to Late Sound Sultan

The Nigeria Basketball Federation (NBBF) has dedicated D’Tigers’ recent victory against the US and Argentina to the late Nigerian singer Sound Sultan. This was done as a tribute to him

The late singer was a huge basketball enthusiast. In 2015 acquired a stake in the Lagos Islanders, a Lagos-based basketball club founded in 1984.

He died on Sunday, July 11, 2021, after a battle with cancer.

To pay tribute to him and his work around basketball, the NBBF on social media dedicated Nigeria’s big wins against the USA and Argentina to him.

“We dedicate the victories against US & Argentina to late Olanrewaju Fasasi (@Soundsultan). You saw this day coming when Nigeria would become a dominant force in global basketball. Ironically, the day we won against @usabasketball, was when you gave up the ghost. RIP,” NBBF tweeted
