Moves by the Senate to enact a law for the establishment of six new campuses for the Nigerian Law School met stiff opposition at the National Assembly on Monday with the Nigeria Bar Association, Council for Legal Education, Body of Benchers and some senators, opposing the idea.
The proposed legislation is titled, “A bill for an Act to Amend the Legal Education Act by Establishing Campuses for the Nigerian Law School, and for other related matters,” which was sponsored by Senator Smart Adeyemi. Ekweremadu said, “The establishment of new campuses or law schools should be left at the discretion of Council for Legal Education as empowered by the Act that set it up in 1962”.
Akpata said, “With the required infrastructure, the existing law schools across the country are enough to accommodate thousands of law students graduating from universities. However, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Femi Falana, said, “It is important to clarify certain facts, the Council of legal Education Act, was enacted in 1962 for the creation of one law school.
