    Senate approves six new law schools for geo-political zones

    Senate approves six new law schools for geo-political zones

    The Nigerian Senate has given approval for the establishment of six new campuses of the Nigerian Law School in the country’s six geo-political zones.

    With the newly approved law schools, the number of law school campuses in the country is now 13, excluding that of the Federal Capital Territory.

    The approval given for the new law schools was informed by the consideration of a report by the Judiciary, Human Rights and Legal Matters on the Legal Education Act (Amendment) Bill, 2021.

    The location for the approved schools include the Jos Law School Campus, Plateau State; and Kabba Law School Campus, Kogi State for the North Central geo-political zone, the Yola Law School Campus, Adamawa State; and Maiduguri Law School Campus, Borno State to serve the North East zone.

    For the North West, you have the Kano Law School Campus, Kano State; and Argungun Law School Campus, Kebbi State.

    In the South East, the chamber gave approval for the Enugu Law School Campus; and Okija Law School Campus, Anambra State.

    The Senate approved the Yenegoa Law School Campus, Bayelsa State; Port Harcourt Law School Campus, Rivers State; and Orogun Law School Campus, Delta State for the South South zone.

    In the South West, the chamber approved the Lagos Law School Campus, Lagos State; and Ilawe Law School Campus, Ekiti State.

    The Bwari Law School Campus, Abuja, is exclusively for the Federal Capital Territory.

    According to the Chairman of the Committee on Judiciary, Human Rights and Legal Matters, Senator Opeyemi Bamidele, the creation of the six law schools was a legislative intervention to address, “the exponential increase in the number of law graduates from our universities and foreign ones, coupled with the backlog that existed over the years.”

    He continued, “existing campuses are overstretched and the infrastructures are not enough to accommodate thousands of law students graduating from the universities.”

    Opeyemi observed that the United States of America with a population of over 350 million people has about 237 law schools.

    The lawmaker pointed out that some countries such as Canada and Australia, with far lesser population than Nigeria, have 24 and 38 law schools for a population of about 38 million and 26 million people, respectively.

    He pointed out that the provision for additional campuses in the six geopolitical zones of the federation was appropriate as it does not tamper with the seven existing campuses established by administrative responsibilities of the Council of Legal Education.

    The lawmaker called on the federal government to, as a matter of priority, provide adequate resources for the funding of the Infrastructural needs of the law campuses across the country.
