Just like last week’s national honours and gifts it showered on the Super Falcons for winning Nigeria’s 10th title of the Women’s Africa Cup of Nations tournament in Morocco, the Federal Government today rewarded D’Tigress, Nigeria’s female basketball team, with the Order of the Niger (OON), with each of the players getting $100,000 and a residential flat.
The rewards were announced when President Bola Ahmed Tinubu hosted the team on Monday evening following their unprecedented fifth consecutive #AfroBasketWomen victory.
Nigeria, in the final on Sunday, edged out Mali 78-64 to claim their seventh AfroBasket title.
