The Admiralty University of Nigeria on Friday, 26th
June, 2020 hosted a Virtual Speech Presentation, which was coordinated by staff
of the Students’ Affairs Unit.
The Vice Chancellor in his opening remarks congratulated the
6 speakers who were selected randomly from various departments of the
University and emphasized the importance of the Virtual Speech Presentation organized
by the Students' Affairs Unit. In his words, “You can have the best brain in
the world, but if you are not able to articulate or express yourself effectively,
you will indeed be underselling that very immaculate and powerful brain that
you have in your head. Speech presentation is a formidable factor in the
development of luminary leadership.”
The Speakers spoke on two vital topics as related to the
present pandemic, which has shut down businesses and closed down schools all over the world: (1) COVID-19
reality: Managing it after the lockdown in relation to campus life and (2) COVID-19
Reality: Merits and demerits of online education during the pandemic. Each of
the speakers were given 8 minutes to speak on one of the topics, and their presentations
covered issues that bothers on – How the virus spreads, managing the lockdown, life in
campus after the lockdown, challenges of online learning, Social distancing, need for
sanitizers and hand washing items at strategic points in the University campus upon resumption,
etc.
The virtual presentation which lasted for 1hour 30 minutes was
moderated by the University Library Coordinator, Mr. Sylvester Ebhonu, with vote of thanks delivered by the Dean of Students’ Affairs Assoc. Prof. Chinelo
