OLYMPIAD VETERANS

We pay tribute to these pioneering chess masters who represented Nigeria in past Olympiads. Even though most of them are less active today, the achievement of chess players such as Tolani Owosina, Emmanuel Omuku, Adebola Dada, Theophilus Caiafas, Ayoola O, Oyeneyin Tajudeen, Olufemi Faseyitan, Dominick Nkemeh, Agusto Olufunmilayo, Onime I, Admiral Jubrila Ayinla, and D Akpanah among other past Olympiad veterans (including those who are still active today) will always have a special place in the history of chess development in Nigeria. They are chess giants in their own rights and so they deserve our honor.

We salute them and thank them for representing Nigeria at many chess Olympiads.

There is no doubt that these chess masters contributed immensely to the development of the game of chess in Nigeria and we are indebted to them.
