Yoruba tennis club marks centenary

The Yoruba Tennis Club is marking its 100th anniversary with a four-day cultural week. The celebration, themed "100 Years of Brotherhood, Culture and Continuity," will run from August 23 to 30 and features events aimed at honouring Yoruba heritage and the club's legacy.

According to This Day, the Chairman of the Yoruba Tennis Club, Chief Olawumi Gasper, has urged members to use the centenary celebration to strengthen the values of culture, tradition, and brotherhood that have sustained the institution over the past 100 years. The cultural week will include the Abalabi dance on August 23 and a cultural colloquium on August 25, with Prof. Peter Fatomilola of Obafemi Awolowo University as the guest speaker.
