ACCESS BANK FIFTH CHUKKER UK POLO DAY

The pandemic ensured that the next Access Bank Fifth Chukker International Polo Day UK couldn’t hold for two clear years since the last edition in 2019. But the latest show in July 2022 quickly reverted the event to its rarefied porch as the hottest UK summer gig for the bank’s clients and friends.

That this grand experience was missed by so many people was evidenced by the biggest ever turnout of VVIPs and aficionados. A royal parade led by the Emir of Zazzau, HRH Ambassador Ahmed Nuhu Bamalli, and the 14th Emir of Kano. HRH Alhaji Muhammadu Sanusi ll elevated the excitement level even more.

The day raised another $1.7 million towards the building and equipping of over 100 new classrooms in less educationally developed areas of Nigeria. Access Corporation Group Managing Director Herbert Wigwe put it to his guests that “this new project should literally serve as building blocks towards achieving a brighter future for the country.”

He challenged the various state governments to take sustainable actions towards ensuring all boys and girls complete free, equitable and quality primary and secondary education.

Managing Director of Access Bank, Roosevelt Ogbonna added that the Access Bank Fifth Chukker UK Polo Day remained a greatest platform towards ensuring a great future for the vulnerable Nigerian child. Teams Access Bank, Malcomines, Fifth Chukker and Delaney competed for the Access Bank cup and the Charity Shield, respectively.
