The 2024 Committee for Ladies Golf Section (LGS) of the IBB International Golf and Country Club has unveiled four toilets and one store facility at the practice Range of the club golf course, Abuja to improve public health, hygiene and dignity to create a better environment for all.
Unveiling the toilet facilities, the club’s lady captain, Julie Okah Donli, said the gesture was borne out of a desire of the 2024/25 Ladies Golf Section (LGS) committee to meet a dire need in the history of the club, saying the committee agreed to make personal sacrifices to ensure that they delivered a project that would outlive their one year tenure in office.
Donli explained that access to clean, safe, and well-maintained sanitation facilities is a basic human right. and essential for public health, personal dignity, and the well-being of the entire community.
According to her, “This project is a testament to our commitment to these values and to creating a better environment for all”.
She noted that the project is a significant milestone in the community.This event may seem small to some, but it represents a major step forward in improving public health, hygiene, and dignity for everyone who uses this space.
The lady captain hinted that the project was self-funded by the 14 members of the LGS committee. “I am indeed so proud of the Committee members who, together, undertook this self-funded project in the wake of the harsh economic realities.”
She appreciated the construction team, for their meticulous work and for ensuring that the facilities meet the highest standards of cleanliness and accessibility, saying their efforts have made a tangible difference in our community.
“As we officially unveil these new facilities today, let us remember that this is more than just a building; it is a symbol of progress, respect, and care for our community. Let us continue to work together to ensure that everyone has access to the necessities that promote health and dignity”, she said.
She also announced that the Junior Open takes place on the course and the use of the range is for participants of the Open who wish to use the range. “Same with Ladies Open participants who wish to use the range. And all golfers who use the range. But essentially for the Childrens golf clinic that has daily participants for two weeks, the range toilets are more crucial. The store is also very handy for storing items during the event.”
