Clement Efakpokire and Ngozi-Pope Orewa emerged as champions of the 2026 Prime Atlantic Squash Closed Tournament, which ended on Saturday at Ikoyi Club 1938 in Lagos after a week of intense competition.
Efakpokire successfully defended his men’s title, securing his second consecutive championship victory after defeating Papa Ibru in the final. The champion described the tournament as challenging but rewarding, while praising Prime Atlantic for its long-standing support for squash development in Nigeria.
“I want to thank the sponsors, Prime Atlantic, for standing by the game of squash. They have supported this tournament at Ikoyi Club for over ten years. In this economy, it is not easy for a company to continue investing in sports development, and we are grateful,” Efakpokire said after retaining his title.
In the women’s category, Orewa defeated Nike Adebayo to claim the championship. She attributed her success to months of preparation, discipline and consistent training.
