Wike Supports Women’s Golf with Office and Facilities

Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, committed to supporting women's and junior golf development in Nigeria during a meeting with a delegation from the Ladies’ Golf Association of Nigeria, led by President Dr Lami Ahmed. Wike pledged to provide a permanent office for the association and consider their request for land to establish facilities for junior golf development, contingent upon a clear project timeline.

He reported that rehabilitation work at the IBB International Golf and Country Club is 35 percent complete ahead of the All Africa Challenge Trophy Nigeria 2026. Wike criticized the previous management of the facility for its deterioration.

Additionally, he approved a 50-50 cost-sharing arrangement for the association's use of the Bola Ahmed Tinubu International Conference Centre for their closing banquet and prize presentation, citing the need for regular maintenance. However, he declined to take on the role of Chief Host due to his busy schedule.
