The Ladies Golf Association of Nigeria, LGAN, has appealed to the Federal Government to support the successful hosting of the All Africa Golf Challenge Trophy in Abuja this November.
LGAN president, Evelyn Oyome, made this appeal during a press conference in Minna, where over 250 lady golfers from across Nigeria had gathered for the 2025 Northern Zone Golf Championship.
Oyome urged the Federal Government, through the National Sports Commission, to provide the necessary support to ensure the success of the challenge.
The LGAN President also advocated for the reinstatement of golf as a national sporting event, noting that it is not listed in the next Olympics.
Earlier, the 1st Vice President of LGAN, Lami Onayi Ahmed, explained that the event, which starts on Wednesday, 18 and ends on Saturday, 21, will be played over 54 holes by 250 players.
According to her, “we choose Minna because we want to spread the tournament to every part of the North and to encourage women to participate.”
“The championship is a World Amateur Golf Ranking standard which will feature amateur ladies while men will participate as guest players.”
