Senator Binos Dauda Yaroe Sponsors Secondary Schools Chess Tournament to Promote Academic Excellence in Adamawa
Adamawa State is set to witness an exciting celebration of youth talent and intellectual development as secondary school students gather for a major chess tournament sponsored by Binos Dauda Yaroe. The event, organized by Queen Vee Chess Academy in partnership with the Nigerian School Sports Federation, aims to nurture critical thinking, discipline, and healthy competition among students across the state.
Scheduled to take place on March 7, 2026, at the Nurses House Hall opposite Market Gate 2 in Adamawa, the tournament is expected to bring together young players from different secondary schools, each ready to test their skills on the chessboard. More than just a competition, the gathering represents a growing commitment to educational initiatives that go beyond the classroom and encourage students to develop strategic thinking and confidence.
The sponsorship by Senator Binos Dauda Yaroe reflects a broader effort to invest in the future of young people through programs that support learning, leadership, and personal growth. Chess, long recognized as a game that sharpens the mind, offers students a unique opportunity to practice patience, decision-making, and problem-solving — qualities that are essential not only in academics but in life itself.
Observers say initiatives like this are increasingly important in creating positive spaces where young people can challenge themselves intellectually while building friendships and learning sportsmanship. By supporting such events, community leaders and educators help open doors for students to discover their strengths and aspire toward greater achievements.
As anticipation builds ahead of the tournament, participating schools are preparing their students for what promises to be a memorable day of competition and learning. Parents, teachers, and community members are also expected to attend, cheering on the participants and celebrating the spirit of excellence the event represents.
For many of the students, the tournament will be more than a chance to win — it will be an opportunity to experience the power of focus, strategy, and perseverance. And for Adamawa State, it stands as another meaningful step toward empowering the next generation through education, mentorship, and opportunity.
