Ibom Air Partners With Ibom Golf, Country Club For Golf Tournament
Ibom Air says it is partnering as the title sponsor and official airline of the Captain’s Day Inaugural Golf Tournament, scheduled for March 29, 2025, at the prestigious Ibom Golf and Country Club, Uyo.
This partnership aligns with one of Ibom Air’s strategic thrusts to promote tourism in the State through providing capacity for delegates and visitors to attend Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions (MICE). The tournament, set on one of West Africa’s most renowned and challenging 18-hole golf courses, promises to be a landmark sporting event.
The amateur tournament will bring together golfers with handicaps ranging from 0 to 36, attracting participants from across Nigeria and Africa. As part of the experience, activities will commence with an Ibibio-themed cocktail reception on March 28 at 7 PM, providing players, business leaders, and guests a platform to network before the main tournament.
Speaking on the partnership, Mr. George Uriesi, Executive Director/Chief Operating Officer of Ibom Air, and an avid golfer, stated: “At Ibom Air, we support initiatives that foster tourism, economic growth, and regional connectivity. Golf, much like aviation, embodies skill, precision, and excellence. We are honored to partner on an event that reflects these values while enhancing the travel experience for golfers.”
Club Captain, High Chief Isuamfon Archibong also emphasized the broader impact of the tournament, saying: “The Captain’s Day Golf Tournament is more than just a sporting event—it’s a platform for business networking, tourism promotion, and cultural exchange. Welcoming professional golfers and business leaders to Uyo will further establish Akwa Ibom as a premier lifestyle and sporting destination.”
