16 UNILORIN graduates bag first class in law school
Sixteen law graduates of the University of Ilorin earned first-class honours at the recently concluded bar final examinations of the Nigerian Law School.
This is in addition to 58 others who made second class upper in the examinations.
The institution’s Director of Corporate Affairs, Mr Kunle Akogun, made this known in a statement in Ilorin on Thursday.
“This is the first time in the history of the university and its Faculty of Law that such a large number of its graduates would make first class in the bar final examinations.
“The closest to this was in 2023 when 10 of its Law graduates bagged the first class grade,” Mr Akogun said.
He stated that the feat was a direct impact of the administrative style of the Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Wahab Egbewole, SAN, who invested so much in the institution’s service delivery.
He quoted the VC, saying, “The performance of the Law graduates is a thing of joy, not just for the Faculty of Law but also for the University in general.”
According to Mr Akogun, Prof. Egbewole has always expected the faculty of law to achieve record-breaking results, as it remains one of the best faculties of law in Nigeria in terms of staffing, facilities and service delivery.
The VC, one of the latest members of the Body of Benchers, said that the feat reflected the individual industry, brilliance, discipline, and resilience of the law graduates.
“It is also a reflection of the strong academic foundation and culture of excellence nurtured at the University,” he said.
Mr Egbewole commended the 16 first-class graduates for writing their names in gold and praised all other graduates of the faculty who also passed the Bar examination with various grades.
The VC described the accomplishment as a proud moment for the University and a reflection of its ceaseless commitment to academic and professional excellence.
He encouraged the graduates to continue to serve as good ambassadors of the university in all their future endeavours.
