Sponsor of the Nigeria’s women basketball league, Zenith Bank, has applauded the AfroBasket champion, D’Tigress of Nigeria after their historic victory in Cameroon as they become the second country after Senegal to win three consecutive titles.
Nigeria defeated Mali 70-59 in the final played on Sunday to make it three titles in a row after the earlier feats of 2017 and 2019 editions.
The Group Managing Director/CEO of Zenith Bank, Ebenezer Onyeagwu, congratulated the team for making Nigeria proud.

“Most of these players are product of the Zenith Bank Basketball league.
“Some of them are currently in diaspora, but they all started from here in Nigeria and went through Zenith Bank Basketball League,” concludes Kida, the immediate past deputy managing director of Total Nigeria.
