Basketball promoter and founder of the Mark D’ Ball Basketball Championship, Mr. Igoche Mark, has extended his heartfelt congratulations to Engr. Ahmadu Musa Kida on his recent appointment as the Board Chairman of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) Limited.
Engr. Kida, who currently serves as the President of the Nigeria Basketball Federation (NBBF), was appointed by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu GCFR on Wednesday, as part of a comprehensive reconstitution of the NNPC Limited board.
In his reaction, Mark expressed his admiration for Kida’s appointment, stating, “This is a stunning achievement for Engr. Kida. His extensive experience, capacity, and quality make him an exceptional choice for this critical role. With over forty years in the oil industry, he brings a wealth of knowledge that is invaluable.”
Mark urged Kida to leverage his background in basketball, both as a player and an administrator, to drive the NNPCL towards ambitious goals. “I encourage him to channel his passion and leadership from the basketball court into the oil sector, a familiar terrain you have operated since 1985” Mark said.
“Mr. President has set high expectations, aiming to raise oil production to two million barrels daily by 2027 and three million by 2030, along with increasing gas production to eight billion cubic feet daily by 2027 and ten billion by 2030. I have no doubt that Engr. Kida has the vision and determination to exceed these targets.”Mark stated.

Lawal Delivers Another Brilliant Performance in Europe
After displaying great form for Istra 1961against Vukovar in the score draw encounter in the elite league few days ago in Croatia, Salim Fago Lawal has continued to enjoy rave of the moment status in the Eastern European nation.
On Wednesday, Lawal was on the scores sheet for Istra in the 75th minute against Kurilovec, but it was only for consolation, as Istra crashed out of Croatian cup in round 16.
It was a masterpiece display from the former Flying Eagles striker, whose work rate has shown great development after joining Istra from modest Nigerian clubside in 2023.
He has scored three goals and two assists, totally five – goal contribution as a striker so far this season.
Interestingly, two other Flying Eagles players, Israel Ayuma and Charles Agada, who are also former players of Mavlon FC, featured in the game and they gave good account of themselves.
Sadly, it was not the day of victory on the pitch for the three former players of Mavlon FC of Lagos.
