“Am happy that some countries like South Africa and Ivory Coast have already conducted the inaugural Ludo For Schools tournament. The tournament is a pathway of grooming a young generation of players who will compete at all levels. Ludo is a mind game that involves laying strategies and this helps in improving on the thinking capability of students. It’s the first time this is happening and as the ALF President i will do everything in my capacity for this tournament to be a success.”
