Femi Falana, a human rights lawyer, said having a multi-campus law school was not the idea of the Council for Legal Education, but was done by circumstances.

But, the Nigerian Bar Association, the Council for Legal Education, the Body of Benchers and two lawmakers opposed the proposal, saying existing campuses were grossly underfunded and that the facilities were in deplorable conditions.
Senators Ike Ekweremadu (PDP Enugu) and Seriake Dickson (PDP, Bayelsa) warned their counterparts against playing politics in legal education.
Also, NBA President, Olumide Akpata, said with the needed infrastructure, the existing law schools across the country were enough to accommodate a good number of law students graduating from the various universities.
