Mr Mese, the vice-captain of Ogunu Golf Club in Warri, Delta, and founder of the Shola Mese Foundation, received the honour when the LGAN president, Lami Onayi Ahmed, and her team paid him a courtesy visit at his office in Abuja.

She said Mr Mese’s appointment reflected his commitment to golf development and support for women-focused initiatives.
Ms Ahmed added that “Mese embodies excellence, leadership and dedication to the growth of golf in Nigeria. His appointment as AACT Ambassador will inspire golfers, attract stakeholders and strengthen Nigeria’s presence in continental competitions.”
She added that preparations for the championship were progressing steadily with support from government agencies and private partners.
