THERE is a programme
in going on in Adamawa
State called Chess for Kids
in IDP Camps. It is all
about teaching and training
kids that were internally
displaced due to insurgency
in North East of Nigeria in
many ways.
The lady behind the
programme, Vivian Ibrahim
says she is using the game of Chess to develop the
mental capacity of these
children.
Vivian says, “For me, it
is about using Chess to help
them through situations of
uncertainty. It is to occupy
their minds in a positive
way and to give them ac-
cess to opportunities in life
in especially in Adamawa
State and invariably anywhere possible in Nigeria.”
The IDP Camps pro- gramme started early this
year, but before then, the
Queen Vee Chess Academy
in Yola had been teaching a
lot of children how to play
the game of chess. Queen
Vee had also been orga- nizing chess tournaments
in Yola and environs in
Adamawa State.
