The Headquarters Command Army Record (CAR) Lokoja, has launched a Nine-Hole Mini-Golf Course initiated by the immediate past CAR Commander, Major General Olufunmilola Soleye (rtd).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The CAR in collaboration with members of the Mini-golf club, organised a sent forth event in honour of Maj. Gen. Soleye, the founder and initiator of the club, as he retired from Nigerian Army after a meritorious 35 years of service to his mother land.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking to journalists at the sent-forth program, Soleye noted that the idea of creating a golf course started when he newly reported in Lokoja as CAR Commander, because of the nature of the barracks’ environment particularly during the raining season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to him, it occurs to us that we have some natural obstacles here, and creating a 5-hole golf course was the idea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
