Three Nigerian Banks have donated a whopping sum of $200,000 to D’Tigers and D’Tigress teams to help them execute their plans at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.

The Nigerian Banks that adopted the initiative as proposed by the Federal Ministry of Youth and Sports Development are Zenith, Access and Guarantee Trust banks respectively.

As announced each of the teams will get $100,000 to help prosecute their campaign. The men’s team pulled up an upset against the United States and recorded another win over Argentina but lost to Australia in their exhibition games.

The Nigerian male and female basketball teams will get $100,000 each as allowances, bonuses and other expenses at the Tokyo Games. The Minister for Youth and Sports, Sunday Dare thanked the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Godwin Emefiele who helped facilitate the process of the adoption.

Dare also extended his appreciation to the three banks CEOs for accepting to adopt the national basketball teams.
