Firm Unveils Business Game for Students,The Chairman’s Empire

-

For children aged seven and above, a new game has been designed to help build their self-confidence, social skills, concentrat­ion, alertness, memory, business communicat­ion skills, social awareness, logical thinking and reasoning, empathy, mathematic­al skills and practical and concrete knowledge of economics.

According to the Managing Director of Distinct Integrated Services Limited, promoters of the game, Ima Mariam Agunbiade-Etiebet, the new game, The Chairman’s Empire among other things, gives children a deeper knowledge of economics and how it could be applied in running a business outfit.

“The Chairman’s Empire is designed to promote self-confidence among the youths. They develop social skills and healthy rivalry as they interact with one another in a competitiv­e game that boosts their concentrat­ion and alertness all through.

“While sitting at this fun game, the child gains in self-confidence and alertness. His memory is enhanced as he engages in logical thinking and reasoning to make the best of his business investment­s. He cannot afford to take his eyes off the board because if he does, he may just lose money.”

Agunbiade-Etiebet added: “Study has shown that mathematic­s has over the years been the bane of many Nigerian students. The Chairman’s Empire game helps boost the mathematic­s acuity of most players. It is therefore expected that children exposed to this game at an early age would have an easier grasp of the subject of mathematic­s.”

By exposing their children and wards to the Chairman’s Empire game, she said the average parent gives them a head start over other children not so exposed as they learn early how to own and run a business of the their own.
