President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has rewarded Nigeria’s Women’s Basketball Team, D’Tigress, the same way he rewarded the Super Falcons.
The President rewarded each player with $100,000, flat each player and coaching crew member, and national honours for both players and coaches.
According to Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy: “No discrimination: President Tinubu rewards D’Tigress the way he rewarded the Super Falcons; a flat for each member of the team and the technical crew; $100,000 for each member of the D’Tigress and $50,000 to each member of the technical crew and national honour of Officer of the Order of the Niger (OON) to both team and crew.”
Nigeria won her fifth consecutive AfroBasket title with a 78-64 triumph over Mali in the final of the 2025 FIBA Afrobasket on Sunday 3 August, 2025 in Abidjan, Cote D’Ivoire.
The victory makes it seven (7) titles for Nigeria in total.
