National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP) director-general, Julie Okah-Donli has backed Nigerian lady golfers to dominate their African rivals in tournaments to come.
Okah-Donli who was looking ahead to the 2021 Ladies Open Golf Championships, spoke against the background of the rivalry between Nigerian ladies and their Ugandan counterparts in recent times. In the 2020 tournament decided at the IBB International Golf and Country club last February, Amina Wilfred of the Nigerian Police Force arrested the dominance of Uganda’s Irene Nakalembe who had won back to back titles.
“We have very good lady golfers in Nigeria. Maybe they were having a bad game when the Ugandans topped them.
“But going forward I know that they are working very hard not just to win in Africa, but also in tournaments around the world,” said the NAPTIP boss. (Vanguard)
