City Oilers and Uganda Silverbacks Captain, Jimmy Enabu has retired from basketball at the age of 31. His decision to retire from the court comes due to a family dream of seeing him fly aircrafts.

Captain David Enabu, who is Jimmy’s father, is a pilot and has reportedly been demanding his son to join him in the cockpit. And as we confirm his retirement news, Jimmy has already enrolled into Kajansi Flying School to fulfill a family dream.
