**FG Keeps Promise to D'Tigress, Rewards Them for Historic AfroBasket Title** As Nigeria's women's national basketball team, D'Tigress, continues to make waves in the international basketball scene, the Federal Government has fulfilled its promise to reward them for their historic victory at the 2025 FIBA Women's AfroBasket tournament in Côte d'Ivoire. In a recent development, the National Sports Commission announced that the team has received their national honour certificates and housing allocation documents, as earlier promised by the government. This ceremony took place in Lyon, France, where the team is currently participating in the FIBA Women's World Cup Qualifying Tournament. Recall that President Bola Tinubu had earlier pledged a special reward package for the team after their record-breaking victory. Each player was to receive a cash reward of $100,000, the Order of the Niger (OON), and a flat in Abuja. The technical crew, led by head coach Rena Wakama, was also to receive $50,000 each. This promise was made when the President hosted the team in Abuja after their unprecedented fifth consecutive AfroBasket title. The D'Tigress sealed their victory on August 3, 2025, defeating Mali 78–64 in the final to clinch their seventh continental title. The team's victory was not without its challenges, as they had to battle through a tense contest to secure the win. Key performances from Amy Okonkwo and Ezinne Kalu were instrumental in securing the victory, with Nigeria entering the final quarter leading 61–56 and maintaining their composure to emerge victorious. This historic victory is not only a testament to the team's hard work and dedication but also a boost to Nigeria's basketball scene. The government's reward package is a well-deserved recognition of their achievement, and we can't wait to see what the future holds for this talented team.
