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.”

Joyce
Owusu-Dabo,
the
Chief
Programmes
Officer
for
Sinapi
Aba,
justified
the
event
by
noting
that
golf
is
an
effective
activity
for
maintaining
a
healthy
lifestyle,
especially
for
bankers
who
spend
much
of
their
time
in
enclosed
offices.

He
added
that
“As
bankers,
we
are
always
in
the
office,
but
we
also
need
to
exercise
for
a
healthy
life.
Golf
engages
the
entire
body,
promoting
a
free
flow
of
blood.”

She
added
that
the
event
offers
corporate
bodies
a
platform
to
share
ideas
and
improve
their
services
for
the
nation’s
benefit.
