Nigeria finalized their roster for the firstleg of Group B of the FIBA Basketball World Cup 2019 African Qualifiers in Bamako, Mali by adding two prolific scorers – Ike Diogu and Micheal Efevberha.
Diogu, who led Nigeria in scoring at FIBAAfroBasket championships in 2013 and 2017, is set to lead a team that also includes Efevberha, who powered Nigeria’s offense with a team-high 17.4 points per game in the 2009 edition of FIBAAfrica’s flag- ship tournament in Libya.
While this will be Efevberha’s first appearance for Nigeria since 2009, Diogu sparked his country to a runners-up finish last at FIBAAfroBasket 2017 last September, and as
a result, he was named the tournament’s MVP.
The first-leg of Group B of the World Cup African Qualifiers will run from February 23-25 in Mali, and Nigeria will face Uganda, hosts Mali and Rwanda, FIBA.com confirmed.
