In fulfilment of his promise to host the Air Warriors of Lagos for emerging as champions of the Zenith Bank Women’s Basketball League, Minister of Youth and Sports Development, Mr. Sunday Dare has promised to sponsor two players from the victorious team to the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. “It is very exciting to receive the Air Warriors Basketball Club. When I watched them in Lagos, I saw a team with talents and skills and predicted that they would go a long way,” Dare said. That is hugely commendable.”The minister said the decision to sponsor two members of the team to the Tokyo 2020 Olympics is to ensure that they have first-hand experience while learning from D’Tigers and D’Tigress.
