AAUA students defeated their counterparts from the JABU to win the contest held on the host’s campus. Students of Mass Communication from Wesley University of Science and Technology, Ondo (WUSTO) and the University of Ibadan (UI) also participated in the debate.
AAUA was represented by Akinlolu Ejiranti, 300-Level, Julius Omokhunu, 200-Level and Joseph Onoolapo, 100-Level. The topic of the debate was: “Is sovereign National Conference the panacea for terrorism in Nigeria?”
Students of the premier university opposed the motion while their counterparts from AAUA supported the view. At the end of the first round, AAUA won by 33.1 to 32.0; JABU defeated WUSTO to make it to the final round.
Having defeated the UI to move on to the final round, AAUA faced the host institution in what could be described as a clash of the titans. AAUA supported the motion that “Corruption is the root cause of terrorism in Nigeria”, but JABU students opposed it.
At the end, AAUA came first with 44.3 points, JABU 40.1 and UI got 38.3 to become first and second runners-up respectively. Speaking after the debate, AMCOS president at AAUA, Omodunni Alero, praised the organisers for creating level playing field for the contestants. (Campus Life)
