As preparations for the forthcoming Port Harcourt Polo Golden Jubilee Anniversary tournament gathers momentum, Dubai Tourism and other corporate institutions are throwing their weights behind the milestone festival.
Polo Royals reliably gathered that apart from the Rivers State government and Dubai Tourism, other sponsors drawn mainly from the oil and gas sector have pledged support for the weeklong festival that gallops off in the Rivers State capital city from January 9-15, 2022.
Already, the Army, the Police, the Directorate of State Security (DSS) and other security formations in Rivers State have confirmed participation in the milestone celebration, pledging adequate security before, during and after the Golden Jubilee polo fiesta.
President Port Harcourt Polo Club, Dr. Chukwudi Dimkpa, who confirmed this, stated that the Dubai package is “In fulfillment of our commitment to deliver the best and biggest Polo tournament that will place Rivers and Nigeria on the map of global reckoning for sports, tourism and business.”
“While we appreciate the Dubai Government’s Department of Economy and Tourism for this robust partnership and several others, we want to declare that the 2022 Port Harcourt Polo Club 50th Anniversary tournament that holds from January 9 -15, 2022, is still open for both local and international business partnership participation,” Dimkpa declared.
The Polo boss also told Polo Royals that elaborate plans of activities have been lined-up to celebrate the 2022 Golden Jubilee of the foremost club, which was established in 1972 as the premier polo club in the entire South-East and South-South regions of the country.
