Federal Capital Territory Golf Association Launches ‘Golf to School’ Initiative
The Federal Capital Territory Golf Association has officially launched the ‘Golf to School’ initiative, aimed at introducing young students to the sport and promoting golf at the grassroots level.
Six schools in Abuja have been selected to participate in the program: Government Secondary School Gwarinpa, Government Secondary School Karshi, Government Secondary School Tundun Wada, Government Secondary School Gwagwalada, Government Secondary School Dutse, and Aduvie International School.
During a stakeholders’ meeting, principals and games masters were briefed on how to integrate golf into their school sports programs.
Akabom Enebong, Chairman of the association, emphasized that the project aims to establish golf academies in collaboration with the FCT Education and Sports departments, while also dispelling the misconception that golf is an elite sport.
Representatives from the Department of School Sports and the participating schools expressed their full support for the initiative, describing it as a crucial step in nurturing future golf champions and expanding sports education in the region.
