The Nigerian Senate has passed a bill seeking to establish additional law school campuses across the country. The bill was sponsored by a lawmaker representing Kogi West Senatorial District, Senator Smart Adeyemi, and was passed on Tuesday, February 8.
The new bill was passed following a report presented by the Chairman of Senate Committee on Judiciary, Human Rights and Legal Matters, Senator Opeyemi Bamidele.
Accordingly, the new campuses approved by the Senate include Kabba Law School Campus, Kogi (North Central); Maiduguri Law School Campus, Borno (North East); Argungu Law School Campus, Kebbi (North West); Okija Law School Campus, Anambra (South East); Orogun Law School Campus, Delta (South-South); Ilawe Law School Campus, Ekiti (South West), and Jos Law School Campus (North Central).
The existing campuses are located in Lagos (South West), Abuja (North Central), Yola (North East), Kano (North West), Enugu (South East), and Yenegoa (South-South).
This brings the total number of law school campuses in the country to 13, excluding the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja.
