He said the proposed golf club, Sheriff Oborevwori Golf & Country Club, would present a multifaceted opportunity to boost tourism, stimulate the local economy, and enhance Osubi’s socio-cultural landscape.
He said, “Ogunu has the only Golf Club in the Warri/Effurun axis, as the previous Warri Golf club situated in the Government Reservation Area was acquired by land grabbers as it was prime land. Golfers seriously fought attempts to grab the Golf courses in Sapele, Benin, and Port Harcourt.
“There had been many moves to get another Golf Course in the area. I met with a former top Army Brass in 2010 to see if the Nigerian Army Barracks in Effurun could provide land for this, but unfortunately, it didn’t happen.
“Shell Petroleum Development Company (SPDC) also had a design for a Golf Course in Osubi, and I heard the designs were concluded. I am sure there have been other private initiatives that have helped this happen in the area.
“The Sheriff Oborevwori Golf & Country Club will represent a multifaceted opportunity to boost tourism, stimulate the local economy, and enhance the socio-cultural landscape of Osubi, Delta State.
