Nigerian Chess Team for Dresden finalised.

Nigeria has managed to hold trials in 3 different world regions, and completed those trials by today's cut-off date, in their quest to pick the best possible players to represent Nigeria at the upcoming Olympiad in Dresden. Although not all players could make the trials due to work commitments and transport etc. and it must have been a logistical nightmare to organize, this is nevertheless a most laudable achievement and one that can be built on.

The teams are:

Men:

IM Oladapo Adu (Zone 2, US)
Charles Campbell (Zone 3, Nigeria)
IM Odion Aikhoje (Zone 1, Europe)
Adebayo Adegboyega (Zone 3, Nigeria)
Bomo Kighigha (Zone 3, Nigeria)

Ladies:

Racheal Edward-Dappa (Zone 3, Nigeria)
Nike Ogunremi (from Zone 1 and 2)
Tolu Jeje (Zone 3, Nigeria)
Folasayo Togun (Zone 3, Nigeria)
Obasi. O. Uwa (Zone 3, Nigeria)
