SUNDAY, 31st AUGUST

*CELEBRATING OAULDS’ HISTORIC VICTORY AT THE ALL-NIGERIA UNIVERSITIES DEBATE CHAMPIONSHIP*

Great Ife!

The Students’ Union proudly celebrates yet another giant stride by the Obafemi Awolowo University Literary and Debating Society (OAULDS), who have brought home national glory at the just-concluded All-Nigeria Universities Debate Championship held at the University of Ilorin, Kwara State, between 24th- 30th August, 2025.

Among over 25 universities, 70+ teams, and 140+ participants across the country, Team OAU emerged as the Overall Champions officially clinching the prestigious title of the Best Debating Team in Nigeria! 🎉

Our university was ably represented by:

Team A: Israel Ajake and Grillo Adedolapo [Open Champions]

Team B: Wole Ogidan and Bethel Olaiya

Adjudicator: Anigilaje Kanyinsola

In addition to the overall victory, our representatives shone with several individual awards:

🏆 Best Novice Speaker: Grillo Adedolapo

🏆 Second Best Novice Adjudicator: Anigilaje Kanyinsola

🏆 Second Place, Public Speaking: Bethel Olaiya

This remarkable achievement is not just a win for OAULDS but a victory for the entire Great Ife community, reaffirming our legacy of excellence, brilliance, and distinction on the biggest national stages.

The Union is exceedingly proud of this feat and urges all Great Ife students to keep embodying the spirit of excellence, discipline, and innovation that defines us. Let us continue to raise the banner of OAU high, within and beyond our campus walls.
