D’Tigress secured their fifth consecutive AfroBasket title and seventh overall on Sunday night with a commanding 78–64 win over Mali, further cementing their legacy as the most dominant team in African women’s basketball.
In a personally signed statement, the First Lady praised the team for their exceptional achievement and highlighted the symbolic importance of their triumph.
“I congratulate D’Tigress for this historic victory at the 2025 FIBA Women’s AfroBasket Tournament. To God be the glory for yet another victory for Nigeria, as you bring home the second trophy won by the nation in just two weeks.”
“Today, you have written another golden chapter in our dear Nation’s sporting history by defeating Mali to win your fifth consecutive title.”
Senator Oluremi said the victory is a testament to the unwavering commitment, discipline, and determination of Nigerian women on the global stage.
“You have continued to inspire every young girl to dream of breaking barriers and making history through hard work and dedication. I celebrate you, your discipline, and team spirit. Thank you for making Nigeria proud once again. Congratulations, my wonderful D’Tigress!”
The First Lady’s message follows widespread national celebration, including praise from President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, after D’Tigress’ latest triumph added to Nigeria’s growing reputation in international women’s sports.
