A Non-profit organization, Leader Joe 1808 Foundation, said it has launched a campaign to get pupils back to school through a golf competition tagged “Golf Junior Championship: Empowering Young Minds”
Speaking to journalists on the competition, Mr. Joseph Onus, founder of the Leader Joe 1808 Foundation, said the aim of the tournament is to provide quality Education in Primary and Secondary schools.
He said “The Back to School projects have been carried out in FCT- Abuja, Kaduna and Sokoto with Borno State in the pipeline.
“As part of our structure, the introduction of a Junior Golf Championship program is a carefully thought out decision solely focused on continuously promoting peace and education through sports especially through the Golf Championship Scholarship programs as this will reduce the large number of out of school children and engage their minds for a better future.
“The Junior Golf Championship program is created to connect young golfers from all parts of Nigeria and beyond. Our goal is to provide youths with a premier golf experience, encourage and support their education through the provision of scholarship opportunities.”
Onus added that the championship would promote unity and build a greater understanding among golfers of different cultures and values.
He also stated that the event which would be hosted by T.Y.B. Golf Club Abuja, from December 16 to 18, 2022 will attract 120 junior golfers from 36 states including the FCT.
