Speaking ahead of the weekend event the General Manager, Business and Strategy, Daily Trust, Ahmed Shekarau said that the tournament will accommodate the crème of Nigeria’s golf players, captains of industry and special guests for a weekend of exciting golf while promoting national unity.

Apart from the numerous prizes to be won, the star prize for both the men and the ladies’ winner, is an all-expense-paid golfing weekend in Kigali, Rwanda; 3-night stay in a 5-star hotel in Kigali; 2-rounds of golf at the Premier 18-hole Kigali Golf Club and a business class round-trip on Abuja-Kigali ticket on Rwanda Air.
