NBA CONFERENCE: ADICHE GATHERS N3.2M FOR FEMALE FOOTBALLERS

There was money rain today at the opening ceremony of the Annual General Meeting of the Nigerian Bar Association held in Lagos, as personalities donated over N3 million for the NBA female football competition to be held as part of the events during the eight-day conference.

During her speech on accountability, award-winning writer and speaker, Chimamanda Adichie, called on the citizens to hold themselves accountable before holding the leaders responsible.

She noted that there was “injustice” in the monetary compensation that the male and female NBA teams would receive in the football competition.

However, after Adiche’s charge, several personalities made contributions to increase the women’s football prize to the sum of N3.2m
