The second season of annual Southeast Basketball Championship has been billed to hold in Owerri, Imo State, former Nigerian International Osita Nwachukwu announced in a press conference.

Twelve female teams are expected to feature at the championship; five from the Southeast – Imo, Enugu, Abia, Ebonyi and Anambra states, and six from the South South – Rivers, Akwa Ibom, Crossriver, Bayelsa, Edo, Delta and Benue states.

In the male category, only teams from the Southeast (Imo, Enugu, Abia, Ebonyi and Anambra states) will feature at the championship.

It will be recalled at Enugu hosted the maiden edition last year. This year, the goal, according to Nwachukwu, is to “develop basketball across southeastern states in Nigeria, so we will continue to stage it every year in different states.”
