Nigeria Golf Federation to Host 2nd Stakeholders Summit in Abuja
The Nigeria Golf Federation (NGF) will convene the second edition of its Summit for Golf Stakeholders in Abuja on August 26 and 27, according to AllAfrica, which cited reporting by This Day.
The summit, organised by Nigeria’s apex golf governing body, brings together players, club administrators, sponsors and other figures in the country’s golf ecosystem. As AllAfrica reported, those listed among expected attendees include Oyinlola, Lalong and Elegushi, alongside other stakeholders from across the country.
A platform for the sport’s growth
This year’s gathering follows the inaugural edition and is positioned as a forum for charting the future of the sport in Africa’s most populous nation. The two-day programme is expected to address player development, course management, sponsorship pipelines and Nigeria’s continued engagement with international golf bodies.
Golf’s footprint in Nigeria
Golf has a long history in Nigeria, introduced during the colonial period and now anchored by clubs across major cities including Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt and Kaduna. The country has fielded golfers on international professional circuits, while the NGF oversees amateur and developmental pathways that feed into continental competition. Staging a national summit reflects the federation’s effort to coordinate the administration of the sport, attract private-sector investment and broaden participation beyond its traditional base.
With Abuja set to host the delegates later this month, the summit is expected to produce recommendations for the federation’s strategic roadmap in the months ahead.
