A former chairman of the Ondo State Basketball Association, Mr. Segun Ikuesan, has expressed confidence that Nigeria’s senior women’s basketball team, D’Tigress, have all it takes to win the ongoing FIBA Women’s AfroBasket Championship in Côte d’Ivoire.
Mr. Ikuesan made this known while reacting to the team’s commanding victory over Cameroon, where they triumphed 83-47 in the quarter-final clash.
The veteran sports journalist noted that the recent gesture by the Federal Government towards the Super Falcons serves as added motivation for the D’Tigress players to reclaim the African title once again.
Nigeria’s D’Tigress have now advanced to the semi-finals, where they are set to face Senegal in what promises to be a thrilling encounter.
