Former Vp of Nigeria Alh.Atiku had a great time meeting with Tunde Onakoya

Tunde Onakoya was truly inspiring! His dedication to using chess as a means of empowerment and education in slum communities is commendable. The statement "Talent is universal, but opportunity is not" is a powerful reminder of the importance of creating equitable access to resources and opportunities for all.


The custom "NeoChess x Tunde Onakoya" chessboard is a thoughtful and meaningful gift that signifies the blend of tradition and innovation in his approach. The use of Adire patterns, a traditional Nigerian textile art form, is a beautiful way to represent the cultural richness of the country and the unique identity he's bringing to the game.

Supporting his dream of building a world-class chess institute is a wonderful way to contribute to the growth of not only the game but also to the development of the youth in those communities. The birthday celebration turned opportunity fair is a creative and impactful event that aligns with his mission to uplift and provide opportunities for young people.

I wish you the best in your collaboration with Tunde and look forward to hearing more about the positive impact of his work and the future of the chess institute. Keep being inspired and spreading the word about the incredible potential of our youth when given the chance to shine!
