Last Friday Oct. 3 the winner of the 2014 Miss UNILAG beauty pageant was gifted with a brand new Toyota car along with an undisclosed cash reward and other undisclosed perks. The car gift Ms. Damilare Babajide a 400 Level student of the Law faculty received is a far cry from the laptop reward given to the winner of the university’s debate competition last month.
Do you think giving measly gifts to winners of academic competitions and giving expensive gifts to winners of beauty pageants could affect the morale of students in the course of their studies?
