The Faculty of Humanities, Management and Social Sciences (FAHUMSS), Augustine University, Ilara-Epe, Lagos State, successfully held its 8th Seminar Series on Wednesday, June 3, 2026, at the University's Convocation Hall. The intellectually engaging event brought together academic staff, non-teaching staff, and students for robust discussions on contemporary national and international issues.

In her welcome address, the Dean of FAHUMSS, Professor Grace Evbuomwan, welcomed participants and reiterated the Faculty's commitment to promoting research, scholarship, and intellectual discourse. 

The seminar featured two thought-provoking presentations. The first paper, titled "Iran, United States and the Israeli Conflict: Effects and Lessons for Nigeria," was presented by Mr. Akintomiwa Obafemi of the Department of Political Science and International Relations. The presentation examined the dynamics of the Middle East conflict and highlighted its implications for Nigeria's foreign policy, security, and socio-economic development.

The second presentation was delivered by Dr. Gbemisola Soyombo of the Department of English on "Deictic Analysis of Selected Political News Reports in Nigerian Newspapers." The paper explored the use of language and deictic expressions in political news reporting, providing valuable insights into how linguistic choices shape public understanding of political events.

Both presentations generated lively discussions as participants engaged the presenters during the question-and-answer sessions, contributing diverse perspectives and enriching the discourse.
