15 years old Ruth Okorocha  from Kingsway College, Lagos, defeated Ramadan Olalekan to emerge as the winner of the competition, themed: ‘The Champion of Champions.’

This followed weeks of engaging in a series of intellectual debates which focus on the socio-political and economic issues that affect the development of the country.

The organisers said the competition took a new dimension as it only featured the winners and runner-ups of the previous editions. This is to refresh the previous contestants’ intellectual competencies while encouraging Nigerian youths to engage in intellectually-stimulating conversations that could proffer viable solutions to the nation’s complex socio-economic issues.

The grand finale of the competition, which was aired live on Nigeria Info’s Hard Facts Show, had Ruth defeating Ramadan, a 15 year-old student from the Federal Government College, Ijanikin, Lagos, after debating on topics that focused on ‘Artificial intelligence and China’s partnership with African Countries.’

Commenting on the successful completion of the competition, the general manager of Corporate Affairs department for Cool FM, Wazobia FM, and Nigeria Info,  Femi Obong Daniels commended the contestants for demonstrating their capacity to critically assess issues that are of both national and global concern.
