A modern basketball facility does not align with the decaying structures I have seen here today.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He then escalated the pressure on those responsible for the school and wider government oversight. \u201cI challenge those saddled with the administration of the school and the government to take urgent action to uplift this institution,\u201d Ujiri added. \u201cWe understand this is one of the oldest schools in Lagos, but old structures must be modernized.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ujiri, who helped steer the Toronto Raptors to an NBA Championship as a franchise executive, has repeatedly used his public profile to argue for stronger sports infrastructure across Nigeria.<\/p>\n<p>In this latest push, he returned to a long-running concern about the federal government\u2019s treatment of the National Stadium in Surulere, Lagos\u2014an iconic venue that has been left largely abandoned and stripped of major events for more than ten years.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese buildings [at King\u2019s College] are structurally sound. What they simply need are facelifts, and this applies to many facilities across Nigeria,\u201d Ujiri said. \u201cHow can the National Stadium be left in a state of disrepair for years?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are Nigerians, the largest nation of the Black race, and we must show leadership. When Nigeria moves forward, the rest of Africa follows. Sports is a major economy, and we must begin to treat it as such.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The newly commissioned basketball court on Lagos Island is expected to serve students at King\u2019s College while also supporting youth training activities in the local community.<\/p>\n<p>Sports advocates have used Ujiri\u2019s comments to renew calls for wider improvements in how stadiums and other sporting institutions are managed and maintained.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Masai Ujiri, the co-founder of Giants of Africa and President of Basketball Operations for the Toronto Raptors, has made a pointed appeal to Nigerian officials and institutional leaders over the country\u2019s ongoing struggle to keep public infrastructure in working condition.
