Historic Achievement for Godfrey Okoye University at the West African Universities Debating Championship!
Historic Achievement for Godfrey Okoye University at the West African Universities Debating Championship! Our students have broken new ground in the ongoing West African Universities Debating Championship! In a phenomenal performance, Favour Egbogu from the Faculty of Law reached the Semi-finals in Public Speaking, while Team GOU F, comprised of Adibo Tiffany Chiemelie (International Relations) and Donald Ogbonna (Accountancy), achieved same in Debate!
Despite being novices in British Parliamentary debate, Team GOU F went head-to-head with seasoned debaters from some of West Africa's top universities and emerged victorious. This is a first for us, as it marks Godfrey Okoye University's debut at this level of public speaking and debate, competing against highly trained opponents.
At the end of the tournament, Ogbonna Donald ranked 18th in West Africa while Adibo Tiffany ranked 25th in West Africa as a debater.
We’re immensely proud of this history-making moment for our university!
