Young Nigerian chess players from the Chess in Slums Initiative have brought pride to the nation with their outstanding performance at the 12th Annual Chess & Community Conference in the United States.
Their success, which includes winning multiple medals and securing scholarships, has been applauded by Hon. Abike Dabiri-Erewa, Chairman/CEO of the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NiDCOM).
She described their victory as proof of the brilliance and resilience of Nigerian youth.
Hon. Dabiri-Erewa also praised Chess in Slums founder, Tunde Onakoya, for his relentless commitment to transforming the lives of underprivileged children through chess.
