President Buhari assured the team, reputed to be the best female national basketball team in Africa, of “100 per cent support” by the government and people of Nigeria.

President Buhari urged the team to rise to the occasion and make the nation proud.

“Our best wishes to D’Tigress. Win the trophy and conquer the continent one more time,” he said.
