The Debate is organized yearly by The Malaysian International Schools Debate Education Society (MISDES) under the patronage of the Malaysia Ministry of Education.

The debate championship is meant to promote global intellectualism and world peace initiatives among young thinkers through advocacy and debate.

Expectedly the 2023 championship showcased the brightest minds from around the world.  Daily Independent learnt that the competition witnessed intense debates and thought-provoking discussions as teams from Nigeria, India, China, Singapore and Pakistan traded intellectual tackles, after which Team Nigeria emerged overall winners.

The journey to global glory for the Anambra State-led Nigeria Debate Team started after MISDES invited some National Debate Teams to participate in their Championship and Team Nigeria was duly represented by the Anambra State Debate Team that won the Nigeria Inter-State Debate.

One after the other, Team Nigeria won Team Hin Hua of the Kuala Lumpur region in the quarter finals to qualify for the semi-finals and later again beat Team Pin Hwa, which comprised international students from India, China, Singapore and Pakistan.

In the finals, Team Nigeria battled for the Masters with the Malaysian National Team and won overall.

Governor Soludo commended the outstanding leadership of the Anambra State Debate Team, whose stage-by-stage brilliant performances have brought the laurel to Nigeria.

According to the governor, this resounding victory reflects the amazing depth of talent, scholarship and eloquence that Anambra State nurtures and cultivates as the government continues to prioritize educational reforms and favourable learning environment.

According to him the students’ exceptional performance not only brings pride to Anambra State but also exemplifies the significance of investing in quality education and nurturing our youth to become global thought leaders.

Soludo also commended the Ministry of Education under the leadership of Prof Ngozi Chuma-Udeh and her team

Earlier in June, Soludo had celebrated 16 years old Miss Kamsiyochukwu Umeh, from Anambra State, as the best candidate in the 2023 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examinations [UTME] who scored a total of 360 out of 400 marks#

*Enugu Politics: Emerging Facts Affirm Prof. Akubue Augustine Uchenna as the Authentic Chairman of ADC in Enugu State* As the discerning citizens of Enugu State anticipate the strategic activities of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) ahead of the 2027 general elections, irrefutable facts have now emerged detailing how *Professor Akubue Augustine Uchenna* was duly elected by consensus as the authentic State Chairman of ADC in Enugu, the Coal City State. Investigations conducted by our correspondents in Enugu reveal that Professor Akubue’s emergence was the product of a meticulous, all-inclusive, and constitutionally grounded process. Far from being arbitrary, his ascendancy reflects the collective will of the party’s apex leadership at both national and state levels, who, in a rare display of unanimity, entrusted him with the mandate to pilot the affairs of the Enugu State chapter. Foremost among these facts is that the Congress Committee, chaired by the erudite *Dr. C.C. Okeke*, a former distinguished member of the Federal House of Representatives, which conducted the Enugu State Congress, was properly constituted and duly appointed by the National Working Committee (NWC) of the party. The procedural integrity of the congress is therefore beyond reproach. Furthermore, the consensus that produced *Professor Akubue Augustine Uchenna* enjoyed the imprimatur of the foremost political luminaries across the three senatorial districts of the state. These include the venerable *former Governor Okwesilieze Nwodo* for Enugu North Senatorial District, the globally acclaimed scholar and former Minister of Power, *Professor Barth Nnaji*, for Enugu East Senatorial District, and the respected technocrat *Mr. John Nwokeabia* for Enugu West Senatorial District. Their collective endorsement underscores the pan-Enugu legitimacy of his chairmanship. Equally instructive is the fact that other eminent chieftains and stakeholders of ADC in Enugu State, including an ex member of the Federal House of Representatives *Amb Fidel Ayogu* who is a member of the ADC National Working Committee (NWC) and leading gubernatorial aspirants for the 2027 elections under the ADC platform such as *Sir Chinyeaka Ohaa*, a seasoned administrator and former Federal Permanent Secretary, *Senator Gil Nnaji*, a ranking parliamentarian of national repute were integral to the consensus that affirmed Professor Akubue as the authentic State Chairman. A senior chieftain of the party and former Special Adviser to the Governor of Enugu State, Hon. Kentus Eze who is also a member of ADC National Convention Committee disclosed to our correspondent that party leaders and stakeholders convened an emergency harmonization meeting shortly after the State Congress to consolidate the leadership structure under Professor Akubue. He noted that Akubue was duly elected by the legitimate custodians of the party’s mandate in Enugu State, adding “For me, the message is congratulations to Akubue led State Exco and to all members of ADC in Enugu State for having a hitch free Congress. I believe that all members of the party will join hands with the Akubue ledae Exco of the party because we are all aiming at one goal” With his formidable pedigree as a scholar of international repute, a consummate administrator, and a consensus-builder with gravitas across political, intellectual, and civic circles, *Professor Akubue Augustine Uchenna* brings to the ADC in Enugu State a rare confluence of academic distinction, strategic foresight, and principled leadership. His chairmanship heralds a new epoch of intellectual rigor, organizational coherence, and elite political engagement for the party as it positions itself for the 2027 electoral contest.
