Reacting to the development on Monday, a statement issued by the Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to the President, Ajuri Ngelale, said, “The recognition of Ms. Wakama, 32, by the International Basketball Federation, FIBA, further accents her well established leadership qualities and dedication to excellence.
