Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) has achieved another significant accomplishment at the 2023 World Universities Debating Championships (WUDC).
The Kumasi-based university attained second position in the competition’s English as a Second Language (ESL) category finals.
As a result, the school has broken records by becoming the first African university to achieve this position in a competition that began 43 years ago.
They finished second in Madrid, Spain in January and qualified for the semi-finals in 2023. As reported by the Voice of KNUST, the university was ably represented by Prosper Michael Ametu, a fourth-year BA Sociology student, and Vincent Johnson Attakpah, a fourth-year BSc Statistics student, who qualified through nine rounds of debate.
