Reacting, Babatimehin Peace assured that the newly elected Executive Council would raise the standard of the debating society.

“We will try to achieve better cohesion and understanding within the society, which will culminate in a better-run Jaw War competition. Ultimately, we will work earnestly and hope to have our efforts crowned with success,” Babatimehin Peace concluded.
