Nigerians and the rest of the world have taken to social media and other platforms to congratulate chess master, Tunde Onakoya for setting a new world chess marathon record.
Onakoya’s initial target was 58 hours but he has since broken that record and has now gone beyond the 60-hours mark to set a new Guiness World Record.
President Tinubu said Onakoya has shown a streak customary among Nigeria’s youth population, the audacity to make good change happen; to baffle impossibility, and propel innovations and solutions to the nation’s challenges, even from corners of disadvantage. The President commended the inclination of Nigerians – across artificial partitions – for unity, once again exemplified through their undiluted support for this epoch-making endeavour.
