Squash tourney honours SP Maria Eboma RTD promotes young talent

 

 A squash tournament has been organised in honour of the late Senior Police Officer, Maria Eboma, to sustain her legacy of philanthropy and support for young squash players.

The tournament held Sept. 1, at Police College in memory of her posthumous birthday.

Seun Peters, the Tournament Director, said the competition was organised to commemorate Eboma’s birthday and provide a platform for nurturing young talents in squash.

Peters said Tosin Bejide emerged winner of the tournament, while Friday Daniel and Daniel Eniafoghe finished second and third, respectively.

He said Bejide received a cash prize of N100,000, while Daniel and Eniafoghe received N80,000 and N50,000, respectively, for their performances.

Peters said the tournament was conceived as a platform to honour Mama Eboma and sustain her legacy of philanthropy, particularly her contribution to the development of young squash players.

According to him, Eboma, while serving at the Police College and after her retirement as a Senior Police Officer, remained passionate about the development of young squash players.

“She was keen about the development of young squash players and supported the Headwaters Squash Academy in her own little way.

“We decided to use squash as a platform to honour mummy and sustain her legacy as a philanthropist,” Peters said.

He explained that the initial plan was to organise a small squash rumble in honour of Eboma on her birthday, but the initiative received the support of Solomon Eboma and his elder brother Lucky Eboma, resulting in a bigger tournament.

Peters said the support also led to the decision to make the competition an annual event, adding that the organisers were committed to sustaining Eboma’s legacy through the tournament.

He disclosed that next year’s edition would be upgraded from a one-day event to a national competition, with the sponsor, Solomon Eboma, expected to determine whether it would be organised around age categories or as a senior tournament.

The Tournament Director said the annual competition would provide young squash players with opportunities to develop their skills, gain competitive experience and contribute to the growth of the sport in Nigeria.
