A Pioneering Force in Nigerian Squash

The Ikoyi Club Squash Section boasts a rich history dating back to 1977, when it transitioned from being part of "Other Sports" to a dedicated section with four courts. Dr. Tony Madedor served as the first chairman, laying the groundwork for future growth.

In 1988, under the leadership of Chairman Mr. Bayo Adenubi, a new squash complex was commissioned in 1990 by Mr. Akin Aganga Williams. This expansion significantly increased the number of courts to nine. The section offers a comfortable environment for players with all seven courts being air-conditioned and featuring a gallery viewing area.

The Squash Section caters to the overall well-being of its members. In 1992, the Mr. Mike Agboola Committee spearheaded the addition of a standard gym, completed in 1994 by the Dr. Olukayode Roberts Committee. The section's kitchen serves delicious Nigerian dishes, providing a space for relaxation and socializing after a game.

The Ikoyi Club Squash Section has played a pivotal role in nurturing Nigerian squash talent. Mr. M.A.O Sofoluwe became the first Nigerian member to win the Club's Squash championship in 1967. Dr. Olukayode Roberts, a former chairman, etched his name in history by becoming the first Nigerian to win the British Open Veteran category in 1997.
