Meanwhile, the management of Zenith Bank has expressed its joy in contributing to the expected success of the country’s basketball teams at the fast approaching Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games.
Zenith Bank alongside other banks in the country, Access Bank and GTB donated $200,000 to the two basketball teams, D’Tigers and D’Tigress for their Olympic Games preparation.
According to the MD/CEO of Zenith Bank, Ebenezer Onyeagwu, the Bank’s involvement in supporting basketball in the country has been for a long time.
He said “Zenith Bank has been sponsoring the women’s basketball league for so many years now, so helping to prepare the teams for the Olympics is a thing of joy for us.”
“We are solidly behind them and all the athletes representing Nigeria at the Olympics. They should go and get the gold for Nigeria.”
