Conveying the nomination to the Governor of Enugu State, Dr Peter Mbah, the Chairman of the National Advisory Board of PSDN, Usman Muhammad, said the development was sequel to Team Enugu’s impressive outing at the last debate for secondary schools where it emerged the overall best.

In the letter dated November 5, 2024, Muhamad said: “This is to congratulate you on the spectacular performance of the Enugu State Debate Team at the recently concluded Inter-Secondary Schools 2024 Democracy Day National Debate Championship Finals in Abuja.

“It is as a result of your state team’s first position at the national finals that the state has been nominated to represent Nigeria at the upcoming World Schools Debate Championship in Panama in July 2025.”

Meanwhile, the Enugu State contingent, which had emerged victorious in Abuja, is made up of Emmanuella Chukwuma of Holy Rosary College, Enugu; Chiamaka Okwuibe of Queen’s School, Enugu; Goodness Chinedu Chiemerie of St. Patrick’s College, Emene, Enugu, and Chibuikem Ukadike of the College of the Immaculate Conception, CIC, Enugu.

The victorious students predicated their victory on Mbah’s huge investment in education, noting that Enugu students were unable to participate in the National Debate Championship for over 10 years before the coming of the current administration due to lack of support.
