President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has publicly commended Nigeria’s women’s basketball team, D’Tigress, for their outstanding performance at the ongoing AfroBasket tournament. In a tweet shared on his official account, the President praised the team’s discipline, focus, and unity, celebrating their role in showcasing Nigerian excellence on the global stage.
D’Tigress, who are aiming for a record fifth consecutive AfroBasket title, have consistently demonstrated their dominance in African women’s basketball. President Tinubu noted that they have not only carried the Nigerian flag with pride but have also earned the respect of the international sports community.
A special mention was made of Coach Rena Wakama, Nigeria’s first female Head Coach of the national team. The President applauded her inspirational leadership and deep experience—both as a former player and now a coach—which has been instrumental in guiding the team to continued success.
“The entire nation is behind you as you go for the 5th straight title,” the President affirmed.
D’Tigress’ journey remains a symbol of strength, resilience, and national pride, with millions of Nigerians cheering them on as they continue to make history.
