Chidi Nwogu Unveils Tennis Pavilion in Nkwerre, Imo State

Hon. Chidi Nwogu, a former member of the House of Representatives, has taken significant steps to bolster sports development in Nkwerre, Imo State, by revitalizing the Nkwerre Country Club with the construction of a tennis pavilion.

This initiative is dedicated to the memory of his late mother, Chief Mrs. Fanni Nwogu, who was a tennis enthusiast and often played doubles with him throughout her life.

The formal investment in the pavilion was announced on Wednesday, April 8, 2026, during a ceremony attended by various dignitaries, including the Deputy Governor of Imo State, Ladi Chinyer Ihuoma, and other notable figures from the state government and community. Engr.

Mike Ezeh, the club's president, remarked on the pavilion's importance for the tennis section and its potential to attract spectators, as the club previously lacked a grandstand. The initiative is expected to significantly contribute to the promotion of sports and recreational activities in Nkwerre.
