At the post-match conference, Wakama praised the team for the doggedness, hard work and passion to achieve such feat in the short time they were put together.
“I’m very proud of my players. They deserve the accolades. Indeed this is a great achievement that should be rewarded.
“We did not have enough time to train together, yet they brought in their professionalism and were marvelous in winning the trophy,” Wakama said.
In a reaction, Queen Moseph, a sports journalist, described the victory as wonderful as the players have shown their qualities and proven their passion to win for the nation.
“We are very happy for them. They deserve the praises as they have lifted the spirits of many basketball loving Nigerians.
“We have always believed in them and winning four straight championship titles show how incredible the senior national team is,” Moseph said.
Kelechi Benard, a sports commentator, described the victory as a very good one for Nigeria especially for the girls who just came together for a week to train.
“The team has proved to many basketball faithful that hard work pays and team coordination is just what can make us to achieve more,” he said.
