Kebbi State Governor, Nasir Idris,has approved N63.65 million for the registration fees of 67 indigenes of the state undergoing legal training at the Nigerian Law School for the 2025/2026 academic session.

Mr Bello-Marshal said each of the 67 beneficiaries would receive N950,000 to cover their registration fees, bringing the total approved amount to N63.65 million.
