Fidelity Bank has boosted the National Basketball Teams, D’ Tigers and D’ Tigress, quest for an impressive outing at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics with a USD30,000 (about N15 million) donation.
Following a pitch by the Minister of Youth and Sports Development, Sunday Dare, Access Bank, Zenith Bank and Guarantee Trust Bank had collectively given USD200,000 to the two teams last week.
According to the Ministry of Youth and Sports Development, D’Tigers and the female team, D’Tigress are to share the Fidelity Bank’s donation.
The Minister, who had earlier intervened to secure the release of the team’s kits hitherto delayed at the Apapa Port in Lagos, said the banks’ gesture will spur the teams to perform well in Tokyo.
