Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, the Asantehene, officially opened the inaugural Sinapi Aba Golf Tournament on Saturday, July 6, 2024, at the Royal Golf Park in Kumasi.
This event, currently underway, is part of the 30th-anniversary celebration of Sinapi Aba Savings and Loans.
The Asantehene was accompanied by Manso Nkwantamanhene, Nana Bi-Kusi Appiah, and other chiefs, who joined the Chief Executive Officer and senior officers of the company.
The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Sinapi Aba Savings and Loans highlighted the company’s impact over the past 30 years, emphasizing the importance of uniting corporate bodies through sports.
He stated, “Sinapi Aba has initiated impactful programs and touched many lives over the past 30 years. As part of our celebrations, we decided to hold this competition to raise awareness and bring together corporate entities.”
He added that golf was chosen as the most suitable sport to bring together high-profile personalities and the corporate world.
“We are extremely happy and grateful that Otumfuo himself joined us in the official opening of the tournament. We have many corporate bodies from across the nation participating in this event.”
