UDUS at 50, Debate Club to Hold Inter-faculty Competition, Celebrate VC’s Commitment to Excellence

The Usmanu Danfodiyo University Debate Club is set to hold its annual Inter-faculty competition from August 1 to August 3, 2025.

The event is scheduled to hold at the Faculty of Law.

This year’s edition is organized to celebrate the 50th anniversary of UDUS and to honor the Vice Chancellor, Prof. Bashir Garba, for his commitment to academic excellence.

Speaking with our correspondent, Muhammad Jawad Oloruntoyin, the club’s General Secretary, explained that the annual inter-faculty debate competition adopts the British Parliamentary style, similar to the method used in the World Universities Debating Championship.

"This year's edition is specially featured as part of the university's 50th anniversary celebrations, with the finals taking place during the anniversary events," Oloruntoyin said.

He advised students to participate, as it’s not just about being part of UDUS’s legacy but also an opportunity to improve their intellectual discourse.

Oloruntoyin added that participants stand a chance to win cash prizes, awards, and medals, as well as gain a platform to showcase their speaking skills.
