Victorious members of Team Nigeria to the World Youth Scrabble Championships in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia are due in Abuja on Wednesday.
The team of four players and one official is expected to touch down in the nation’s capital by 12.05pm aboard Ethiopian Airlines.
Team Nigeria through Sophia Ebube Ekeruche, won the Best Female crown at the World Youth Scrabble Championships, the first time a wordsmith from the continent is achieving such a feat.
Only last month, Sophia Ebube Ekeruche, made history by winning the U-15 category at the African Youth Scrabble Championships in Kenya, the first female to do so and did that without dropping a game.
Captain of Team Nigeria, Abdulqudus Olawale Aliu, narrowly missed the first position in the World to Madhav Gopal Kamath of India. Aehzam Ahmed of Pakistan came third.
