NBA, Senators, Others Disagree Over Bill To Create More Law School Campuses

The Nigerian Bar Association, the Body of Benchers, senators, and other board yesterday disagreed over a bill by the Senate to increase the number of the Nigerian Law School campuses from six to 12.

Senator Smart Adeyemi moved the bill for an Act to amend the Legal Education (Consolidation etc.) Act by establishing the campuses for the Nigerian Law School, and for other related matters. DAILY TRUST reports.

During a public hearing on the bill organised by Senate Committee on Judiciary, Human Rights and Legal Matters, Senators Smart Adeyemi, Abiodun Olujimi and Kashim Shettima respectively said increasing the number of Law School campuses was to accommodate for annual increases of law graduates seeking for admission into the available law school campuses in the country.

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.

He asked the lawmakers to address the issue of funding so that the new campuses would not suffer same fate as existing ones. jamb results

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.
