Gov. Ododo Congratulates D’Tigress on Afrobasket Victory

Kogi State Governor, Alhaji Ahmed Usman Ododo, has congratulated Nigeria’s National Women’s Basketball Team, D’Tigress, following their record-breaking fifth consecutive FIBA Women’s Afrobasket title.

In a statement released by his Special Adviser on Media, Ismaila Isah, Governor Ododo commended the team’s exceptional performance, describing it as “a monumental achievement that reaffirms Nigeria’s dominance in African basketball and ignites hope across the nation.”

The Governor applauded the team’s unwavering determination, discipline and unity throughout the tournament.

According to Governor Ododo “This victory transcends the realm of sports; it is a powerful testament to Nigerian excellence and a source of immense national pride. The inspiring performance of D’Tigress will continue to motivate young athletes, especially girls, to believe in the power of hard work and the Nigerian dream.”

Governor Ododo also praised Coach Rena Wakama and her technical crew for their role in guiding the team to back-to-back Afrobasket titles.

He highlighted her groundbreaking achievements as the first woman to win multiple Afrobasket championships, emphasizing the growing impact of women in Nigerian sports.

“Coach Wakama’s leadership is a beacon of progress, demonstrating the importance of creating platforms for female excellence,” he noted.

“On behalf of the government and people of Kogi State, I extend heartfelt congratulations to D’Tigress on this historic accomplishment. You have once again made our nation proud,” he said.

While reaffirming his administration’s dedication to sports development and youth empowerment, Governor Ododo noted Kogi’s unwavering support for initiatives that promote local talent and foster national unity.

He commended President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for supporting women and youth development in Nigeria, stressing that the win by the D’Tigress coming shortly after the win by the Super Falcons at the just concluded Women African Cup of Nations is another testament of the impact of the Renewed Hope Agenda in different spheres of the Nigerian society.

“With their fifth consecutive continental title, D’Tigress have solidified their place as the most successful women’s basketball team in African history — a shining example of what can be achieved through perseverance, teamwork, and a united front as a nation”, he added.
