‘Scrabble, Moving In Right Direction’

The South West Coordinator, of the Nigeria Scrabble Federation (NSF), Kayode Fashola, has said that the sport is headed in the right direction through its programmes.

Fashola told newsmen in Lagos recently, that the federation had adopted a step by step initiative to groom emerging talents from the grassroots.

He added that the just concluded Ibile Games in Lagos, afforded the body the opportunity to identify budding talents.

“The game is developing beautifully and especially with the latest development of going to the grassroots.

“Many talents were discovered in the just concluded Ibile games and they would be properly nurtured in order to have a formidable team,” he said.

The coordinator said that learning goes beyond the four walls of a school and that scrabble was a good sport to task their brains.

He stressed that: “Scrabble involved intellectual skills while exercising and tasking the brain by ensuring that the participants are conversant with word formation.”

The coordinator added that more of such competitions would move the sport in the direction it should go.
