The boisterous Ihiala City in Anambra State will on April 5 welcome its first world-class golf facility, which will be known as Acropolis Golf Course, the sponsors of the project have said.
Built by Nest Oil to cement its presence in the Southeast, and also boost tourism in Anambra State, the new facility is also expected to add to the visibility of the town located at the heart of the major highway linking Anambra State with Imo.
Speaking on the new golf course, Facility Manager, Nest Oil, Obioma Ogakwu, who manages the project, said it will complement his company’s social investment in the Southeast and help expand options for internal tourists visiting Anambra.
“Golf is one sport that has been growing silently in the country, and this project hopes to accelerate it and help the state harness its potential for social and economic growth,” he said.
Nigeria’s former number one professional golfer, Mike Ubi, who has been working with the facility owners to bring some of its characters to international specifications, said the course would change the dynamics for the game.
“The standard that has been set with the Acropolis Golf Course tells of the passion of the owners, and their drive for excellence.”
