Paul Chollom Lomak Savours Plateau Peaks’ Win, Lauds Governor’s Aide Financial Gift And Others, But Calls For Government Intervention
The Chairman of Plateau Peaks Basketball team, who also doubles as the numero uno of Basketball on the Plateau, Dr. Paul Chollom Lomak, has given the motivations behind Plateau Peaks hard earned win over a Gombe Bulls side that defeated NBBF Men’s Basketball Premier League most successful team, Kano Pillars in Day 1 of the ongoing 2026 edition.
In a hold no bare interview with www.ssimedia247.com.ng, Dr. Paul Chollom Lomak, when asked how prepared the team is to ɓetter their performance of last season where the team could not make it to the playoff says: “Considering how much this Association has put into preparing this team this first victory in our first match over a team that defeated a strong team like Kano Pillars in their first match is a thing of joy for us.”
He went ahead to give reasons why his team came all out like wounded lions after the second quarter “I must say the Coaches looked at what was not done properly and corrected the boys and very importantly the financial boost given the boys by someone from the Governor’s offìce that pleaded anonymity, a financial gift the boys have not seen for a very long time, boosted their morale to the high heavens.”
He continued: “We realise that days before this match, the boys were full of complaints about footwear. I had no choice than to buy them shoes from my pocket for this tournament.”
“We want to perform better than last season where we couldn’t make it to the playoff. So we are calling on private and public organisations; and good people of Plateau State to come all out and support the team.”
Dr Chollom Lomak concludes: “I’m calling on the Government to please play their part as it concerns this team.
As an association we are playing our part. Permit me to applaud and appreciate two organisations specifically, one is Cbrilliance and the other is Malcomines, both came through for us. We appreciate them.”
