Africa’s best player, Oboh, pleads with NSC for help

Nigeria’s kid sensation, Georgia Oboh, says being Africa’s best at the just concluded Junior Orange Bowl International Invitational in Georgia, U.S., is a stepping stone to challenging the world’s best in the sport. But she posits that to be among the best, she needs the assistance of government to train and participate in major competitions.

Oboh revealed she almost missed out of the Junior Orange Bowl International Invitational due to sponsorship issues and, therefore, called on the National Sports Commission (NSC) to come to her aid as she prepares for the Orange Blossom Tour with three world ranked tournaments, starting with the Harder Hall women Invitational and the South Atlantic ladies, which are billed for this month.

“I am immensely proud to be the first Nigerian to take part in these events and equally happy to have come out on top among the African golfers that contested. Hopefully I will bring more joy to Nigerians this year in terms of participations and triumphs,” Oboh said after the competition.

The U.S Kids Golf Teen World Champion, who was Africa’s finest at the Junior Orange Bowl International Invitational in Georgia, U.S., made history even before the start of the tournament by becoming the first Nigerian golfer to take part in the tournament.
