Speaking about the competition, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of FirstBank of Nigeria Limited thanked the management of Ikoyi Club 1938 for their partnership over the past 63 years, saying the relationship has been worthwhile.


"We have enjoyed partnering on this remarkable initiative for 63 years and counting," he said.


Alebiosu, who was represented by Patrick Iyamabo, ED/Chief Financial Officer of FirstBank, said that the bank has additionally provided a steady platform to attract the best amateur golfers, both locally and internationally, an initiative the financial institution will continue to pursue.


"The FirstBank Lagos Amateur Open Golf Championship is one of FirstBank's most prominent sponsorships under the First@sports initiative, through which the bank demonstrates its unwavering commitment to the development of sporting talents in Nigeria and globally.


"For over 130 years, FirstBank has been a driving force in the promotion of sports in Nigeria and across the bank’s subsidiaries all over the world. This has been accentuated by our legacy sponsorships of tournaments such as the Kaduna Polo Tournament, which is currently in its 104th year of sponsorship, as well as Golf, Tennis, Football, and Basketball, among others.


"FirstBank's partnership and long-standing sponsorship of the FirstBank Lagos Amateur Open Golf Championship is, therefore, one of the ways by which we demonstrate our commitment to building a legacy not only for golf and golfers but for sports in its entirety," Alebiosu said.


Isaac Umoru, a golfer with St. Marks Golf & Country Club, Otukpo, Benue State, is the tournament's defending champion.
