The League of African Ambassadors has unveiled its continental vision and announced plans to organise a fundraising golf tournament aimed at promoting African diplomacy, strategic partnerships and resource mobilisation.

The president of the league, Nwanne Ominyi, disclosed this at a news conference on Tuesday in Abuja. The league comprises serving and retired African ambassadors committed to advancing African unity, economic cooperation and sustainable development.

Mr Ominyi said the organisation was inaugurated on October 14, 2025, under the auspices of the African Union Economic, Social and Cultural Council (AU-ECOSOCC). According to him, the League seeks to harness the wealth of diplomatic experience across the continent to strengthen Africa’s unity, development and global influence.

He said the organisation would complement the efforts of governments, the African Union and regional organisations through dialogue, mentorship, youth empowerment and strategic partnerships.

Mr Ominyi identified the LAA Fundraising Golf Programme as one of the League’s flagship initiatives, designed to combine sport with diplomacy, networking and resource mobilisation. He said the maiden Nigerian edition of the tournament would hold at the Ibom Golf and Country Club, Uyo, Akwa Ibom, from August 29 to 30.

According to him, the initiative will subsequently be replicated in 11 African countries to strengthen diplomatic engagement and continental partnerships.
