Ebonyi State Governor, Francis Nwifuru, has honoured D’Tigress forward Blessing Ejiofor with ₦30 million and a duplex at the Civil and Public Servant Estate in Abakaliki.
The Governor also approved ₦50 million for the construction of a standard basketball court in Ejiofor’s name — a project that will support the next generation of basketball talents in the state.
At a reception held in her honour, Nwifuru praised Ejiofor as “a great ambassador,” celebrating her contribution to Nigeria’s recent AfroBasket success.
Recall that Ejiofor’s reward and recognition came alongside other national team mates across the states including the super Falcons of Nigeria team mates for their Project -X WAFCON trophy.
Ebonyi state government is proud to have their daughter participate in this victory tournament and that has attracted this award on Ejiofor.
