Expressing delight at the partnership with Polaris Bank, the newly elected Captain of the Golf Section of Ikoyi Club, Chief (Dr) M.I. Okoro thanked the Bank and expressed optimism that the sponsorship would strengthen the already existing relationship between the Bank and the Ikoyi Club community.
Speaking on the competition, the Acting Managing Director/CEO of Polaris Bank, Innocent C. Ike, said the Bank is pleased to associate with the Ikoyi Club 1938, adding that the sponsorship of the tournament underscores the Bank’s conviction on the role of sports, particularly golf, in enabling national unity, and socio-economic development.
Mr Ike noted that Ikoyi Club 1938 is an iconic brand that has transcended being just a club for socialisation to a nursery for raising stars who have gone ahead to get listed in World Amateur Golf Ranking.
According to the Polaris Bank CEO, “We are excited to partner with the Golf section and, by extension, the Ikoyi Club 1938 in hosting this tournament. Our position stems from the fact that Ikoyi Club Golf Section is a foremost Golf Association in Nigeria, and hence provides us the platform for bonding, business and social good”.
“As a future-determining Bank and an enabler of enterprise, we are always willing to be part of any social and business partnership that holds opportunities for the larger society,” he added.
