In the last two days of the Youth Energy Summit organised by the Liberation Chamber, Obafemi Awolowo University, representatives of the University of Lagos (UNILAG) emerged the winner of the debate.
The debate, which was done in stages so as to address challenges in the power sector of the country, held on Wednesday and Thursday, and had about fifteen universities in attendance.
Amongst the fifteen schools are Ambrose Ali University, UNILORIN, University of Ibadan, Ekiti State University, Imo State University, University of Benin, Lagos State University , Federal University of technology and many others.
These schools were divided randomly into teams of letters, ranging from A-L.
The University of Lagos representatives, with the tag "Team I", had emerged as the champion of the debate after the rigorous exercises of convincing the audience and the judges, thereby dusting down Obafemi Awolowo University representatives with the tag "Team L" to the second position.
While speaking with the UNILAG representatives, one of the judges, Mr Temilola Adetona, saluted the doggedness of the initiatives claiming that it was one of the best way of talking through successfully the challenges of the power sector in Nigeria.
"What all the schools debated on are all relevant to ending the odds of electricity in Nigeria " he remarked.
Mr Adetona further added that the fact that other representatives did not emerge as winners or runner-ups does not really mean that their ideas were not relevant and confusing enough but that rather, it was just the cause of contest in effect.
"I thank the organisers of this events, and the sponsors for their efforts for making this a success for me" he said.
Ipinnuoluwa E, one of the UNILAG students, expressed his heartfelt gratitude that it was a great opportunity for Nigerian Youths to have a say in the power resuscitation of the country.
"Thanks to the organisers for giving the Youth the platform like this to have a voice and to develop them further on the useful ways of remaining relevant in the globals changing society" he said.
