However, NASBA boss Ahmed Tamale who is also a a staff at the school confirmed that the school will go on with preparations to host the event in May 2011 if the education and sports ministry gives them a green light.
“The fire was not that serious to hamper preparations to host the national schools’ basketball event. We are still going on to prepare,†Tamale said.
He added that work on the four all-weather courts is on and that by February next year they will be ready.
