The Kwara trio are Aliu Qudus who placed 2nd; Olojoku Boluwatife Sufyan (5th); and Olosun Khalid (8th). Their feats mean they are among the best Scrabble players on the continent. The three are students of Government High School Ilorin.
Unlike other games where only the best three are recognized, Scrabble championships honor players who place between 1st and 10th in the game that involves strategic joggling of letter tiles to form meaningful words,
while players are timed and guided by stringent rules.
The Governor says the feats of the Kwara children point to their high intellects, time management skills, and
ability to strategize and plan, think fast, and respect rules — a skill set AbdulRazaq says is necessary for anyone aspiring to greater success in life.
AbdulRazaq urges the young champs at the African Youth Scrabble Championship to continue to develop themselves in the games of their choice and work harder next time to break new records for posterity.

He also wishes the players the best of luck as they get set to represent Kwara State at the forthcoming Youth Games in Delta later this year.
