Convocation Debate

STUDENTS UNION GOVERNMENT
UNIVERSITY OF NIGERIA

A call for submission of applications for the 2016 university
convocation debate.

Greatest Lions and Lionesses;
In the bid to always get students involved in the activities of the
university, the vice chancellor of our noble varsity, prof. B.C.
Ozumba and the school's senate ceremonials committee have included a
debate competition in the week-long convocation scheduled to hold from
the 15th-20th February, 2016.

The essence of this debate competition can not be overemphasized as
this would help our students grow and develop their oratory and
communication skills so as to meet up with the world standard and also
compete favourably with scholars from around the globe.

After much deliberations by the convocation debate subcommittee, the
topic: "UNIVERSITY EDUCATION SHOULD BE SKILL BASED RATHER THAN
COGNITIVE DRIVEN" has been chosen. Debaters are meant to speak for or
against this motion.

Sequel to this we call on all students from all faculties to apply so
as to be chosen to debate on this. Requirements include;
1. NAME
2. ADDRESS
3. FACULTY
4. PHONE NO
5. EMAIL
6. WHY YOU ARE TO BE CHOSEN
(A LITTLE BACKGROUND OF
ONESELF)
7. FOR or AGAINST the motion?

applications can be submitted in soft copy to pro.unn@unn.edu.ng or to
any of the SUG presidents (UNEC- Comr. Ilogebe Chidi, 07031641418 or
