OAU Wins 3rd Edition Of NISD

Temitayo Lasisi (200L, Public Administration) and Omirin Emmanuel Kayode (300L, Law) have won the third edition of the Nairaland Interschool Debate for Obafemi Awolowo University after edging past their colleagues from the ‘Better By Far’ University; the University of Ilorin.

In a fiercely contested intellectual battle on Sunday evening, OAU came top with grand total points of 74.5 as against 68.5 polled by the runner-up. The Lagos State University had earlier gone past Ahmadu Bello University to clinch the third position.

The debate paraded wits from over 24 schools including University of Ibadan (UI), University of Lagos (UNILAG), University of Benin (UNIBEN), Federal University of Technology Akure (FUTA), amongst others. This edition marks the greatest feat of team OAU as it has maintained the third position in the two previous editions.

Also, Temitayo, a representative of the OAU team became the best debater thereby winning among several prices an invite to JarusHub Networking Event - an avenue to meet and dine with some Lagos professionals in a top restaurant in Lagos.

We say congratulations to the team!
