Oluremi Tinubu Launches 2026 AACT, Promotes Girls' Golf
On November 3, Nigeria's First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, officially opened the 2026 All Africa Challenge Trophy (AACT) at the IBB International Golf and Country Club in Abuja. The five-day championship features 20 African countries and aims to promote women's golf and strengthen relationships across the continent.
Tinubu emphasized the importance of investing in women's golf and praised the Ladies Golfers Association of Nigeria (LGAN) for their Girls in Golf Legacy Project, which aims to introduce 300 young girls to golf across Nigeria's six geopolitical zones. She commended the efforts of LGAN President Dr Lami Ahmed and her team in hosting the tournament, marking Nigeria's third time as host after previous editions in 1996 and 2010.
Tinubu encouraged participating golfers to compete passionately and uphold sportsmanship, while also inviting delegations to explore Nigeria's cultural heritage during their stay.
