In addition to the top 15 players receiving various cash prizes, spot prizes were also given to players who distinguished themselves during the JAMSC championship.


Speaking after the championship, JAMSC convener and former Lekki Scrabble Club President, Ebikeme Adowei, expressed his delight that the championship, which he initiated five years ago to immortalize his late mother, has grown to become a Nigeria Scrabble Federation-rated championship.


“The number of participants increased this year, as did the cash prize. My mission is to use the championship to promote Scrabble in Nigeria by allowing more youths to take part in the event.


“I am sure that many talents will emerge from the JAMSC championship, and I thank the NSF and other sponsors for their support,” he said.
