Authorities of the Nigerian Law School has laid to rest
controversies surrounding the mass failure of students in
its 2013/2014 August Bar 2 Exam. The school said those
who were retaking the exam were the ones that recorded
mass failure. According to the Secretary to the Council of
Legal Education and Director of Administration of the
Nigerian Law School, those who were taking the exam for
the first time had more than average pass percentage.

“The failure rate was high among the re-sit candidates
with about 1168 out of 1335 students who registered
failing the examinations while 88 students recorded
ordinary pass. Also, 26 of the re-sit students recorded
conditional pass,” she said. According to her, the failure
rate among the re-sit student was high because most of
them were either working or based outside Nigeria.

Continuing, the Council Secretary said that most of the
protesting students were those who have sat for the
examination for about four times, noting that such
students refused to attend revision classes put in place
for them by the school, saying the Director General of the
school or any of its lecturers is not responsible for
marking down the students.

On the possibility of a review of the results, she said any
of the students is fre to apply for a review in line with the
rules set by the Council for Legal Education in the country,
saying that they are equally free to apply for a re-sit next
year. She said such a re-sit will require mandatory eight
weeks of revision classes as the Board of Studies of the
Council of Legal Education has made that compulsory.
