Arik Air partners IBB Golf Club for Independence Cup

Arik Air, West and Central Africa’s largest commercial airline is partnering IBB International Golf and 

Country, Abuja in staging the 2013 Independence Day golf and Nigeria Vs Ghana International golf match 

play to mark Nigeria’s 53rd independence anniversary.

Arik is the lead sponsor for the two tournaments which are the most prestigious held at the IBB International 

Golf and Country Club Abuja. The annual Nigeria Vs Ghana international golf match play will be held at the 

Club on September 28 and 29 while the Independence Cup will be staged on October 1.

Arik Air Managing Director, Mr. Chris Ndulue said the airline has been a great supporter of Nigerian sports 

and that the sponsorship of the golf tourney is the airline’s little way of identifying with a group of people 

whose patronage has been a great boost to the business.

“As a socially responsible airline, we strive to impact positively on our operating environment through 

sponsorship of events such as the Independence Cup,” Ndulue stressed.

Arik Air thanked the Management of IBB International Golf and Country Club, Abuja for giving the airline 

the opportunity to sponsor this year’s Independence Cup and thus identify with its valued guests.
