The Lekki Scrabble Classic will serve as preparation for the African Scrabble Championships in Rwanda.
Lekki Scrabble Club President Samuel Anikoh has been highlighting the strategic role this year's edition of the Lekki Scrabble Classics will play in the successes of players eyeing some good outing at Africa's premier Championship in Rwanda.
The African Scrabble Championship (ASC); the biennial 'battle board' of the continent, will witness the convergence of many mind gamers who will hunt for honour, pride, and glory in Kigali the capital.
Players from over 15 countries will seek top titles at the pinnacle of the Scrabble championship starting from October 23-27 in the East African country.
The convergence comes just a month before the classy Lekki Scrabble Classics held on the 28 and 29 in Lagos; giving a more strategic importance to this edition.
"We are actually quite pleased with the timing of the LSC" revealed the amiable LSC President. "This year," he continued, "we have the pleasure of providing a platform for players to sharpen their minds in readiness for the ASC in Kigali, Rwanda. Of course, there’s the added benefit that hopefully the mouthwatering prize monies on offer will offer some support to players who plan to make the trip to Rwanda."
"We are also glad that the LSC has been carefully selected annually to hold on the closest weekend to the celebration of Nigeria’s Independence Day, allowing us to escape the rigors of everyday living to celebrate, relax, and compete fairly over the scrabble board despite our very diverse cultures," Anikoh said.
Defending champion Enoch Nwali who also holds the ASC title with other top contenders is expected to test their word-power at the annual tournament.
Loense International, Front-page Couture, Midasfarms, MGi, Elcrest E&P, Ayodele Thomas Consulting, Julyet Peters and AGPC will be backing the LSC2024.
