NNPC/Chevron Tennis Clinic sponsors impressed by participants’ performance

The General Manager, Government and Public Affairs of Chevron Nigeria Limited, Deji Haastrup, has said the oil firm was impressed with the performance and behaviour of players at NNPC/Chevron Tennis Clinic which ended at the Lagos Lawn Tennis Club, Onikan, at the weekend.

Speaking at the end of the clinic, Haastrup challenged the participants to employ what they learnt at the clinic which lasted three weeks to build a career for themselves.

The clinic was coordinated by a former chairman of the Nigeria Cricket Association, Chris Enahoro.

While acknowledging the support of the various organisations and individual, who jointly contributed to the success of the tennis programme, Haastrup said the high turnout of players on the first day of the clinic showed that it has achieved its prime objective of exposing kids to the various aspects of the game.
