The well attended tournament, which had participants from UAE, UK Cameroon and other  African countries in honour of the outgoing captain of the IBB International Golf and Country Club, judged the best ever organised Captain’s Cup in the history of the club as members and friends showered encomium on the outgoing Captain Mike Ekoja.

A cross section of members and friends described Chief Ekoja as an outstanding captain who left an indelible mark in the club.

Boboye Oyeyemi, chairman, organising committee of the 2023 Captain’s Cup said: “Indeed, what you have witnessed throughout this week is as a result of the painstaking and dedicated efforts of the members of the committee to celebrate our very humble and amiable captain.

“This year’s Captain’s Cup has turned out to be a remarkable success as shown by the number of participants. We all ensured that it ran its course with a great sense of collective achievement.

“It proves once again that golf has remained one of the powerful games that unites people from diverse backgrounds and ages asides from its tremendous health benefits,” he said.

Former ;kady captain of the club, Lami Ahmed, said Ekoja was a dedicated, hardworking captain and a very good team player.

According to her, the huge number of participants during the tournament was a good testament to Ekoja’s immense contribution to the growth and success of the club.

“Every year, the Captain’s Cup is the climax of all activities in this club and therefore the members come together to celebrate the captain who has devoted and dedicated a full year running the affairs of the club.

“It is noteworthy to mention that Ekoja is a special person. He is a man who gave his all and committed 356 days on a daily basis carrying out one activity or the other.”

Julie Acholonu, also a past lady Captain (2018) said Ekoja was a diligent and resourceful person who did very well in his capacity as the Captain of the club.
