“Recall, the governor also place a ban on all illegal fee collections in all schools owned by the state government.
“This gesture to the Law Students to me will no doubt encourage you to pursue excellence in your quest to receive practical legal training to become qualified lawyers as recommended by your profession, hence you must be ready to impact our world positively and profoundly especially as youth.
“Remember, anyone who has obtained a University degree in Law and who wants to practice as a lawyer in Nigeria must attend the Nigerian Law School. I therefore again charge you to see your professional calling as one of the most highly respected and elitist in the world and reciprocate the good gesture of the Governor by making yourselves good ambassadors of our dear State”.
