Northern University Bangladesh (NUB) recently hosted an inter-university friendly debate competition organized by the NUB Central Debate and Public Speaking Club. The event was held on Monday, April 27, 2026, at the NUB campus in a cordial and intellectually engaging atmosphere.

A three-member team from the Government Titumir College Debating Club, including its Debate Secretary, participated in the competition.
