The newly Elected Captain of the IBB International Golf and Country Club, Abuja, Architect Ibrahim A Babayo says his 12-month tenure will witness tremendous growth in golfing events in the Club, BSNSports.com.ng reports. 

Speaking while receiving the Executive members of the Bar and Bench Golf Association led by its Chairman, Justice Mudashiru Oniyangi, Babayo said his administration will organize golf events every month both for the Amateurs and the Pros.

Ibrahim Babayo who was elected Captain during the 2024 Annual General Meeting which took place last Weekend at the Clubhouse, promises to embark on radical improvement both at the clubhouse and on the course.

" We will be committed to ensuring proper hygiene within and around the club premises. We will also enforce a zero-tolerance policy towards plastic waste, affirming our dedication to environmental stewardship. Henceforth, all members are our environmental police to ensure strict compliance with waste disposal at designated spaces, while on the course, clubhouse or club premises.

Furthermore, we recognize the need to diversify our revenue streams beyond membership fees to enhance the quality of our infrastructure, facilities and services. Hence, we will explore avenues for strategic partnerships with both the public and private sectors, leveraging on our existing relationships to attract corporate sponsors and sponsorship", Babayo said.

Ibrahim A Babayo got elected unopposed having served as the immediate past Vice Captain under Dr. Banjo Obaleye.
