The 33-year-old Wakama has been invited to receive her award at a special ceremony organised by ANOCA on the sidelines of the its Elective General Assembly, scheduled for March 15 to March 17, 2025, in Algiers, Algeria.

President of ANOCA, Mr. Mustafa Berraf, communicated this honour through Engr. Habu Gumel, president of the Nigeria Olympic Committee (NOC), emphasising Wakama’s distinguished achievements in the sport.

Under Wakama’s guidance, the D’Tigress made history by reaching the quarterfinals of the Olympic tournament for the first time, finishing with an impressive 8th place ranking.
