D’Tigress captain and MVP Amy Okonkwo says their historic fifth consecutive Afrobasket title will encourage girls across Nigeria and beyond to embrace basketball. Speaking at a presidential reception, she thanked President Tinubu for the warm welcome and praised the team’s support system for their continued success.
Okonkwo expressed confidence that the victory will propel the team to break more barriers at the 2026 FIBA Women’s Basketball World Cup in Berlin. With 29 straight Afrobasket wins since 2015, D’Tigress has cemented their dominance on the continent, now backed by generous rewards and national honours announced by the president.
