The Council of Legal Education has released the result of the Bar Final Examination and for the first time in the history of the Nigerian Law School, over 160 students finished with a first class degree.
A notice released by the Director General of the Nigerian Law School, Prof Isa Hayatu Chiroma SAN, states that 5,846 students participated in the examination conducted in August, and 4,633 (79.25%) of them emerged successful.
He said that 161 (2.75%) candidates graduated with a first class. This is reportedly the first time such result is recorded in the history of the Nigerian Law School.
Also, 218 (3.73%) candidates graduated with a conditional pass while 965 (16.51%) of the candidates failed the examination.
In 2015, the institution produced only six first class graduates. Three of them from Lagos campus, one from Kano and two Abuja campus.
The Bayelsa, Yola and Enugu campuses did not produce any first class graduate that year.
Making first class at the Nigerian Law School is generally believed to be very difficult. However, Oludare Subomi Onokoya who is one of the outstanding Law students, recently spoke about his Law School experience and how he defied all odds to be among the best.
Onokoya believes having an outstanding performance at law school is all about determination and discipline.
However, the Call to Bar ceremony will hold from November 27th to 29th in Abuja.
