We are thrilled to announce the inaugural NIM Invitational Schools Chess Tournament, a landmark event that brings together young chess talents from both primary and secondary schools across the region. This exciting tournament is an initiative of the Nigerian Institute of Management (Chartered), proudly organized in collaboration with Dynamic Chess Ville.
Set to take place on Thursday, June 12, 2025, at the prestigious Management House, located on Idowu Taylor Street, Victoria Island, Lagos, this tournament promises an inspiring blend of competition, learning, and fun for our future leaders.
