Agoke, who spoke on Arise TV on Tuesday, attributed her ability to balance her medical career and basketball to discipline and resilience

Months after welcoming a child and losing her father, the 35-year-old foot and ankle specialist was named in the squad.
She, however, disclosed that she paused her medical career to join the team for the tournament, “Absolutely, I’m using my vacation days to be here. My job is waiting for me when I go back.”
