A foremost energy company Oando PLC has joined the fray in sport promotion in Nigeria just as it will be sponsoring the Alake Golf Tournament which tees off from October 26 – 28, 2023 at the Abeokuta Golf Club in the Ogun State capital.
With over 200 participants expected at the event, the fixture shows that the Caddies will begin the competition by Thursday October 26, followed by the Professionals’ Competition on Friday October 27 and the Amateurs’ event will round off the tournament on Saturday October 28.
However, a statement from the energy giant revealed that it is taking the step against the backdrop that sport generally is a better leeway to foster national unity that could trigger positive change.
“As the country continues its journey of social cohesion and national reconciliation, communities can benefit a lot of positive attributes through sportsmanship,” the statement says.
The annual event is also said to be another way of Abeokuta Golf Club reinforcing Oando’s dedication towards empowering local communities in fostering social development in the country.
In this regard, the organisers of the 2023 Alake Golf Tournament have assured that the event promises to celebrate unity and camaraderie, welcoming diverse participants which will include skilled and amateur golfers nationwide.
