President Bola Tinubu has rewarded each player of Nigerian female senior basket ball team, the D’Tigress team $100,000.

Tinubu also gave each of the players a new apartment for emerging champions at the just concluded African championship.

Additionally, each coach will receive $50,000.

The president equally bestowed the national honour of Officer of the Order of the Niger, OON, on each member of the team.

The development is coming days after the $100,000 gift for the Super Falcons sparked controversy.

The Super Falcons won the Women African Cup of Nations championship held in Morocco.
