Giants of Africa Unveils 50th Basketball Court at King’s College, Lagos
Giants of Africa, a non-profit organisation co-founded by Dallas Mavericks President, Masai Ujiri, has inaugurated its 50th community basketball court in Africa, reaching the halfway mark of an ambitious pledge to build 100 courts across the continent.
The milestone launch of the 50th basketball court under the Giants of Africa (GOA) “Built Within” initiative was celebrated in grand style on Monday, May 25th at the historic premises of the King’s College, Lagos, as basketball, music and entertainment combined to deliver a memorable experience for pupils, parents and members of the community.
The newly completed modern basketball facility, situated within the school grounds on Lagos Island, forms a part of GOA’s ambitious target of constructing 100 courts across Africa to promote youth development through sports.
The court was built by Webber Engineering, whose Chief Executive Officer, Babalola, is a former basketball player turned sports entrepreneur.
