Nigeria’s women’s basketball team, D’Tigress, has presented their AfroBasket 2025 championship trophy to Vice President Kashim Shettima at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.
Shettima received the team on behalf of President Bola Tinubu during a special reception held in their honour.
The event, which took place on Monday, followed D’Tigress’ recent triumph at the FIBA Women’s AfroBasket tournament, where they secured their fifth consecutive title. The team defeated Mali 78–64 in the final match played at the Palais des Sports de Treichville in Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire on Sunday.
A video shared online showed the moment the players handed over the trophy during the ceremony, as they were celebrated for their performance and consistency on the continental stage. The victory continues Nigeria’s dominance in women’s basketball in Africa, with D’Tigress now firmly established as the top team in the region.
