Afrobasket champions, the D’Tigress are protesting over their unpaid wages and allowances.

They are also expressing grievances over what they described as unfair treatment meted out to them by the Nigerian government and the Nigeria Basketball Federation (NBBF) after their victory at the 2021 FIBA Afrobasket Women’s Championship in Cameroon.

Some members of the team, who took to the social media platform, Twitter, said their efforts in winning the championship for the fifth time and qualifying for the 2022 FIBA Women’s Basketball World Cup in Australia were never appreciated in winning the competition.

“This is far from the truth. The last time we checked, our allowances, stipends, bonuses, Chinese grants, and donations made by banks for players, officials, and volunteers, have still not been paid,” the point guard added.
