Abuja golf reporters urge Wike to reopen IBB golf club

Abuja golf reporters and stakeholders are urging Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, to reopen the prestigious IBB International Golf and Country Club, which has been closed for several months due to a leadership dispute. The closure was initially seen as necessary for peace and renovation but has led to financial distress for members and staff.

Wike recently reconstituted the club's Board of Trustees, but concerns remain about the prolonged shutdown. The reporters issued a joint statement appealing to Wike to show mercy and justice by reopening the club to prevent financial hardship and restore the community's joy and livelihood.

They emphasized the importance of physical activity and the potential for untimely deaths due to inactivity.
