The VC urged them to aim higher, adding that they should not relent in their quest for excellence and bring more glories to the university.
The King’s University (KU) in Odeomu, Osun State, which finished as second runner up, erupted in celebration after its students returned to the campus with their trophy.
The IUD was held at the main auditorium of OOPL’s International Conference Centre. Ten tertiary institutions participated in the debate, with the theme: Will Presidential libraries reduce leadership deficit in Africa?
Some of the participants argued in favour of the claim, while others opposed it. The KU’s Melody Ayokunu, a 200-Level International Relations student, argued that presidential libraries would address the leadership challenge in Africa.
At the end, the judges panel, which included Prof Bolanle Awe and Dr Olusoji Vawn, announced the winners, stating that UNIOSUN garnered 38 points to win the contest.
BABCOCK scored 35 points to win the second position, while KU had 32 points to become third.
Lauding the school team for the feat, the KU Vice-Chancellor (VC), Prof Diran Famurewa, praised the students for making the varsity proud.
