EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW WITH ADEOYE PHOEBE

PV: Can we meet you?

Adeoye Phoebe: My name is Adeoye Phoebe oluwadamilola, a part one student of Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU), from the department of Public Administration

PV: Thank you. In few words , can you please share your experience during the inter-faculty debate .

Adeoye Phoebe: Hmmmmm,

Actually it was a competitive one, but all thanks to God. The first stage of the debate was a departmental debate within the faculty. During the departmental debate, the other departments representative were also intelligent, so I wasn't so sure I could win. Eventually after the debate the scores were announced and I came first. I was overwhelmed. I moved on to compete with 12 other Faculties. When we started the debate I was like "This people know book ooooo"

But with God's grace I moved on to the top six. It got to a point I was scared and that was during the impromptu debate, where we were given topic to prepare on within two minutes without phone and we were to think on a point.

After the impromptu debate I was among the top three winners. All glory to God, but we were told the winner would be announced the following day at the Symposium organized by the Great Ife student union

During the Symposium, the winner was announced and I came third

It was a sweet competition indeed.

PV: Thank you . What stood out for you during the debate.

Adeoye Phoebe: Thanks for the question,

Only God stood out for me, He gave me the courage I needed and also blessed me with great executives from the department of Public Administration, who didn't sleep just for me to be at the top in the debate competition.

PV: Kudos to the executive of Public Administration !

Would you like to continue representing the faculty in and outside OAU?

Adeoye Phoebe: If given the opportunity, I would always love to represent the faculty in and out of OAU.

PV: Great ! what's your Advise to people that would also love to go for debates in future .

Adeoye Phoebe: My sincere Advise to people that would also love to go for debates in future, is that they should put God first, Listen to instructions and guidelines given by superiors and experts not excluding building up courage.

PV: Thank you very much for your time ma'am ,that will be all .

Budget Showdown at NAPAS: President Storms Out, Returns to Face Apology Standoff

The parliamentary sitting of the National Association of Public Administration Students (NAPAS), OAU, on November 15, 2024, was one for the books. From unexpected delays to fiery budget battles, the session had its fair share of drama. Here’s a breakdown of what went down. A Late Start, But We Move Scheduled for 10:00 AM, the sitting didn’t officially kick off until 10:50 AM, thanks to late arrivals and unforeseen hiccups. The Speaker, showing true leadership, apologized on behalf of the House. The session then opened with a prayer led by the General Secretary and a heartfelt rendition of the school anthem. Roll call came next, with names called in groups: Napasites, Public Voice representatives, Executive members, and Parliamentarians. A few smiles filled the room as some names had to be called twice before responses were heard. The session also marked a significant moment as the newly appointed Treasurer took the oath of office. Administered by the Speaker, the swearing-in...

THE LION

"THE LION" it's a term used overtime to describe the doggedness and tenacity of previous speakers of the public administration house of parliament in delivering its constitutional duties and it has become a conventional norms going forward. On the 21st of December 2023 at the post graduate lecture theater the parliamentary sitting of the house held, having in attendance quite a numerous number of students from different constituencies.

Schooled in the Chemistry of Football: Public Administration Fails the First Test.

It was supposed to be an afternoon of excitement as the Department of Public Administration faced off against the Department of Chemistry in their opening game of the Great Ife Football League. The match began with intensity, as the Chemistry team launched a high press right from kickoff, signaling their determination to secure a win by any means necessary. The Public Administration team matched their intensity, leading to a fiercely competitive first half that ended in a goalless draw. The second half saw Public Administration creating several promising chances, largely through the efforts of their energetic winger, Mubby. Despite his relentless runs and skillful attempts to break through the defense, all efforts ultimately proved abortive, as Chemistry’s defense held firm. Public Administration struggled to convert their opportunities—a performance reminiscent of a certain team from the red half of Manchester. Chemistry finally broke the deadlock with a clinical strike from their rig...
