The DA-F Basketball Foundation has organised a programme tagged ‘Back to School; where different writing materials such as pens, books, math-set, pencils and others were given to nursery and basic pupils. 
Speaking at the event in Port Harcourt, at the weekend, the founder of DA-F Basketball Foundation, who is also the U16 National Team Coach, Fubara Onyanabo,  said the idea behind it was to let the children know the importance of education.
According to him, if any child wants to play basketball in his foundation, they must go to school, adding that this has been the policy to balance basketball and education.
“In this foundation, education is very important to us, if you must play basketball, you must be educated to balance basketball. 
“The educational materials we just distributed are to assist and encourage our children in education in our little way,” Onyanabo said. 
Some children that received the school materials, expressed appreciation to the coach for such a gesture.
Also, parents of the children that benefitted from the school materials who  spoke to Tidesports thanked the  coach  and prayed for God to keep and protect him. 
They further appealed to  well meaning Nigerians and corporate organisations  to emulate him.
