Speaking with TribuneSport, Chief Agbeja said: “I am excited that we are set for the 5th Insurance Golf Open. When we started 1n 2012, I wanted the Insurance industry to contribute to the development of golf in Nigeria. Not only that they supported my idea to the fullest, we have many of my colleagues now playing golf.
“They were encouraged to play when their companies sponsored the tournament, so I am a happy man that my dream of propagating the game of golf has manifested.”
