President Bola Tinubu has announced a generous reward package for Nigeria's female senior basketball team, D'Tigress, following their triumph at the recently concluded African championship.
Each player will receive $100,000, a new apartment, and the national honor of Officer of the Order of Niger (OON). The coaching staff has not been left out, with each coach set to receive $50,000.
This announcement comes just days after President Tinubu's $100,000 gift to the Super Falcons sparked nationwide discussions. The Super Falcons had emerged victorious at the Women's African Cup of Nations championship held in Morocco.
The D'Tigress have consistently represented Nigeria with distinction on the continental stage, with this latest championship further cementing their status as a powerhouse in African basketball.
The presidential gesture recognizes the team's hard work, dedication, and excellence in bringing honor to Nigeria through sports. The national honor bestowed on the team members places them among distinguished Nigerians who have made significant contributions to the nation.
This reward package represents one of the most substantial financial recognitions for a Nigerian sports team in recent years, highlighting the administration's commitment to celebrating sporting excellence.
