President Muhammadu Buhari has felicitated with the national female basketball team, D’Tigress, for a highly impressive outing at the FIBA Women’s AfroBasket 2019 in Dakar, Senegal.
This was contained in a statement issued by the Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Mr Garba Shehu on Monday.
D’Tigress defeated Senegal at the finals, winning the hosts, 60-55.
President Buhari hailed the team for their remarkably synergized play that enabled them to outpace and outplay all the teams at the tournament to retain the title they won in 2017, further consolidating their position as African champions with four titles.
President Buhari equally thanked all the officials and technical hands that guided the team to win the African title, urging them to remain focused on deploying such energy and talent in subsequent global tournaments.
