Scrabble players across Nigeria will converge on Yenagoa, the Bayelsa State capital, this weekend for the fifth edition of the Governor Douye Diri National Scrabble Championship.

 

The tournament, scheduled for August 2–3, will take place at the Chief Diepreye Alamieyeseigha Memorial Banquet Hall, Government House, Yenagoa.

 

Chairman of the Bayelsa State Scrabble Association (BYSA), Mr. Daniel Alabrah, stated in a press release that the local organising committee is fully prepared to host top scrabblers from across the country.

 

Alabrah noted that the annual championship consistently attracts the best players from both the Nigerian and African scrabble circuits, including world and African champions.
