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.

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.”
