Ogbuokiri Aims to Mentor 300 Girls for AACT 2026

Uloma Mbuko Ogbuokiri, the Coordinator of Girls in Golf, is leading a legacy project aimed at mentoring 300 girls as Nigeria prepares to host the 2026 All Africa Challenge Trophy (AACT) from November 2 to 7 at the IBB International Golf and Country Club in Abuja. This initiative is designed to extend the impact of the championship beyond the golf course, providing young girls with opportunities to learn the sport, develop confidence, and pursue their ambitions.

The Girls in Golf Legacy Project aims to inspire a new generation of female golfers while promoting values such as discipline, leadership, and perseverance. The AACT 2026 will bring national teams and officials from about 30 African countries, showcasing female golfing talent and enhancing Nigeria's profile as a host for international sporting events.

The project emphasizes grassroots development and aims to broaden the perception of golf as an accessible sport for young girls, linking it to a major continental championship to connect aspiring golfers with a wider sporting environment.
