The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Mr Nyesom Wike, has directed the newly appointed members of the Interim Management Committee of the Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida (IBB) Golf Club to commence work without delay.
Mr Lere Olayinka, Senior Special Assistant to the minister on Public Communications and Social Media, announced the directive in a statement issued in Abuja on Sunday, according to correspondents.
Olayinka stated that the committee would be chaired by Dr Peter Deshi, with Yomi Oyelola serving as secretary.
Other members of the committee include Otunba Elegbeleye, Nanwor Mamven, Mrs Ekanem Ekwueme, Arabi Bello, Lawan Aboki, Okey Nnaedozie, Fred Otobo, and Julius Fadairo.
He noted that the committee would operate under the supervision of the club’s Board of Trustees, headed by Justice Monica Dongban-Mensem, President of the Court of Appeal.
“The minister had emphasised the FCT Administration’s commitment to restoring order and efficiency to the prestigious club, which had recently faced internal challenges,” Olayinka said.
He further stated that Wike had clarified the ownership status of the club, stressing that it remained the property of the Federal Capital Territory Administration.
