  "account": "The grand finale of the Sapetro Futures Tennis Championship concluded on Saturday, with the Afaramai family from Nasarawa celebrating two victories at the Mainland Tennis Club in Lagos. Heman Afaramai, the top seed in the Boys 16s category, narrowly missed a setback to Garuba Taiwo from Ogun State in the semifinals but emerged victorious against Dami Agunbiade from Calabar Sports Club in the final, thanks to Agunbiade's withdrawal due to stomach discomfort. Meanwhile, Godwin Afaramai, representing the Boys 12s, battled through a resilient Ademola Adejumobi from Ogun State to clinch the title after overcoming initial challenges in the final set tiebreaker. The tournament also saw a strong display by the girls, with Amira Mohammed of Kwara State defeating her teammate Mariam Bello to win the Girls 12s title. Anu Odebode from Lagos Lawn Tennis Club secured the Girls 14s crown, while Adeshewa Olaniyan from Ondo State claimed the Girls 16s title after a tough fight against Tolu Agunbiade from Calabar Sports Club. Among the notable attendees were the Managing Director of South Atlantic Petroleum, Engr Emeke Anagbogu, who served as the Guest of Honour, and Mr Akinlolu Akinyele, the Managing Director and CEO of Industrial and General.",
