At a brief but colourful closing ceremony, Egbele extended his gratitude to participants, the sponsors as well as individuals who ensured that all the boxes were ticked in putting up a grand show in the historic city of Ibadan.
“I feel elated and glad obout the success of this tournament, the turnout was massive with almost 90 players in attendance but it could have been more you know but, we had to restrict the number at the registration. This significantly underlined the massive interest in this great game despite the fact that this was held in Ibadan and not in Lagos.”
The event which witnessed a rich cast of scrabble top shots in the zone had in attendance the Chairman of Oyo State Scrabble Association Salau Samson, Chairman of Lagos State Scrabble and Monopoly Association Dipo Akanbi,
Chairman Nigeria Police Scrabble Association Chief Supritendent Femi Okunnowo, South-West bigwigs Femi Awowade, Musa Olasupo as well as club captains and coaches from the six states that make up the zone.
