“It is amazing to see the incredible talents chinning out in this youth competition. The real highlight this year isn’t just the medals being won but the remarkable discovery of raw talents across different sports,” Senator Enoh said.

Among the many young stars shining bright is Isabella Inmi Ojo Ichado, the youngest female chess player in Nigeria.

Ichado represented Kogi State in chess, having developed a passion for the game at the tender age of three. Her father, a chess coach, has played a significant role in nurturing her skills, and she has since demonstrated exceptional prowess on the chessboard.

Senator Enoh lauded Ichado’s achievements, emphasising the importance of identifying and supporting such talents at an early stage.
