Tunde Onakoya from Lagos Nigeria has shared, "Today, one of my greatest dreams came to life. We officially launched the first Chess Innovation Hub in Lagos, Nigeria, made possible through the incredible partnership with
@lufthansa. It’s difficult to find the words to express just how much this moment means to me personally and to everyone who has walked this journey with us.
I have always believed that every child, no matter their background, deserves the opportunity to develop their full potential. This hub will be a sanctuary where dreams are nurtured and where we’ll inspire children to have faith in their own ideas.
As promised, the hub will be free and accessible to children in Makoko, as well as homeless children in Yaba, Ebutte Metta, and Surulere axis. We will focus on creating programs that teach Coding, Robotics, AI/Machine Learning, design, advanced chess training and a book reading club. This is where we reimagine education for children who may have fallen through the cracks of society and help them unleash the power of their minds in creative ways"
