The Elite Global Golf Academy (EGGA) has successfully trained and mentored a new generation of professional golfers who have been inducted as A-Class Professional Golfers by the PGA in South Africa.
The chairman of EGGA, Dr Elijah Ogbuokiri, announced this achievement to journalists on Friday in Abuja, expressing his pride in the academy’s success in proving sceptics wrong.
The three successful A-Class golf professionals are Jimmy Paul Ogun, Ifeanyi Friday Onugu, and Dan Abasiama Idem.
Their certification is recognised in more than 40 countries worldwide.
The CEO of EGGA, Mrs Uloma Ogbuokiri, known as Lady Pro, expressed her joy over the academy’s accomplishment, which is in line with its mission of raising new generations of golfers and helping existing golf professionals become globally recognised.
She added that they educate existing golf professionals and upcoming golfers on the business angle and profitability of the golf industry in Nigeria regularly.
They aim to raise the standard to a world-class level.

The academy welcomed the second batch of A-class Nigerian professional golfers from South Africa exactly ten years after Lady Pro’s graduation in 2013.
She explained that the road has not been easy, but they are grateful to God for sending them safely back from South Africa with three gentlemen who have completed their training and received their certificates from PGA South Africa.
The team also had the opportunity to meet the Nigeria Consulate General in South Africa, who celebrated with them at the graduation.
Lady Pro’s biggest accomplishment in golf, she said, is sowing seeds in other people’s lives.
Her joy comes from nurturing and mentoring someone to rise and become a Global Golf Professional.
She explained that the certificate they acquired is recognised in over 40 countries worldwide.
Despite the challenges of the golf business in Nigeria, such as the free fall of Naira against the dollar, Lady Pro remains determined to keep the academy running and to raise more professional golfers who can compete globally.
