Birthday, Business & Backhands: Princess Oghene Blends Celebration with Purpose at Elite Tennis Event

As excitement builds toward the grand finale of the Elite Women and Men’s Doubles Lawn Tennis Tournament, all eyes are on the event’s sponsor, Princess Kelechi Oghene, who is marking her birthday in style while championing a blend of fashion, philanthropy, and sport.
Set to conclude on July 19 at the prestigious Ikoyi Club, Lagos, the tournament is more than just a competitive sports event. It doubles as a platform to celebrate Oghene’s growing influence in Nigeria’s fashion and business landscape. The founder of GMYT Group and GMYT Fashion Academy, Dr. Oghene has become a symbol of empowerment, seamlessly merging entrepreneurship with community impact.
According to a statement shared with Society Plus, guests at the event can expect a luxurious experience from exclusive gift packs and red carpet moments to product showcases and media features in the upcoming issue of GAH Elite Magazine.
The tournament underscores Oghene’s vision of purposeful networking wrapped in lifestyle elegance.
Outside the tennis court, the multi-faceted entrepreneur is also setting her sights on leadership. She recently announced her candidacy for the position of Public Relations Secretary of the US Government Exchange Alumni Association of Nigeria.
Her campaign, she notes, is rooted in a commitment to elevate the association’s local and international visibility.
Oghene’s agenda focuses on three pillars: increasing visibility for all members, fostering strategic brand collaborations, and strengthening internal communications a plan she believes can reshape the association’s narrative.
From fashion to advocacy, and now sports diplomacy, Princess Oghene continues to redefine what it means to lead with purpose.
