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.

The team were also commended by the president for their discipline, maturity and focuses all through the tournament, and deliberateness in promoting the Nigerian flag and accompanying virtues of resilience, persistence and dogged pursuit until victory was achieved.

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.

Congratulations

Only praises.
