Speaking at the Pre-tournament Press Conference, Mohamed Oyibo, the Chairman of the Organising Committee, revealed that this year's tournament is designed to blend sportsmanship with celebration and networking. The event, themed 'Born of Legacy, Built for Greatness,' aims to elevate the benchmark for competitive amateur golf, corporate hospitality, and sporting excellence in Nigeria.
