Nigerian Nationals Universities Debating Championships

Debate and Development Resource Center, Nigeria, the coordinator of Nigerian Debate Movement and University of Calabar are proud to organize Nigeria Universities Debating Championship (The Nigerian Nationals-2011) to be held in University of Calabar, on August 13-19, 2011.


This year edition promises to bring together top debate teams and student public speakers from across the country and other West African neighbors like Ghana, Liberia, Sierra Leone, and Gambia and offer them all a unique chance to interact with each other and engage in fun and high intensity student tournament. This will also be a wonderful opportunity for all the teams to experience the new styles of international debating and explore the peaceful city of Calabar. We therefore invite university students to apply for this week -long debating hall of fame talent hunt.

We have been seeing private and profit oriented organizations in Nigeria hosting project fame and reality shows e.t.c and all of these programs are geared towards entertainment. None are academic in nature and also contributing to the development of leadership skills among young people . Here is our own version of Nigerian Debate to Fame reality show! This program is designed for emerging leaders in all human endeavors.

The event would also bring top international trainers and adjudicators from Botswana, US and UK.
