In its commitment to youth empowerment, civic engagement, and intellectual excellence, the American University of Nigeria will proudly participate in the maiden edition of the National Campus Debate Initiative, organized by the National Orientation Agency (NOA).
The prestigious program, which runs from early July through October 2025, is designed to foster national integration, promote critical thinking, and amplify youth voices in public discourse. This year’s state-level debate themes will focus on technology, innovation, and entrepreneurship, encouraging students to analyze how digital technology and innovative thinking can unlock entrepreneurial potential and drive inclusive economic growth in Nigeria.
The President of the University, Prof. DeWayne Frazier, encouraged AUN’s active participation, while the Dean of the School of Law, Prof. Magaji, affirmed that the School has raised a formidable team of three students to represent the university in this groundbreaking competition.
The National Campus Debate Initiative is a flagship youth civic engagement program that seeks to prepare Nigerian students for leadership, responsible citizenship, and nation-building through constructive debates on policies and national development issues.
As the debate season begins, AUN students are poised not just to compete, but to inspire a generation of youth ready to use knowledge and dialogue as tools to build a better Nigeria.
