“The aim of the project is to make Nigeria the power and pillar of baseball in Africa, considering the exploits in sports, talents and resources available in the country.

“The two countries are ready to jointly identify, strive to strengthen and facilitate realisation of the goals, as well as mitigate existing and perceived challenges in relation to baseball in Nigeria,” he said.

The agreement was signed last Friday, at the Moshood Abiola National Stadium, Abuja, and was followed by a technical seminar for coaches and game masters to improve the developmental process of the sport.
