we were posted against our choice to yola were the fight against the insurgents ve heightened...

we accused the school
authorities of insensitivity to security of life
saying the campuses under state of
emergency ought to have been suspended
given the terrible situation of insecurity in
those states, the
law school authorities posted us to
Yola and Kano campuses without minding the
security implications involved.we expressed serious fear over the rampant
insecurity in the affected states and called on
the Ministries of Education and Justice as well
as the Presidency to prevail on the law school
authorities to repost them to secure areas
before it becomes too late.
Most of the prospective law students affected
by the posting had chosen four law school
campuses according to their preferences
as provided in the admission form they filled
to indicate their intention for participating in
the 2014/2015 programme.
When the admission list was published however, it became clear that the Law
school authorities did not consider the
voluntary choices of the prospective students
before posting us to those dangerous areas.
Traditionally, prospective Law students are
entitled to four campuses of their choice in
order of preference and these are often filled
in the application form long before postings
are done.
Strangely, however, most of those posted to
the state of emergency areas this year did not
choose any of those areas and none of
their preferred areas was considered in the
posting exercise.
Unless an urgent action is taken by the
government to rectify the posting situation
most of the affected students may not go to
law school this year a situation that is
capable of aggravating the already tensed
education condition in the country.
Meanwhile, the enrolment for law school this
year is lower than those of the previous years
due to the industrial strike
embarked upon by the Association of
University Unions (ASUU) which
prevented most final year law students from
graduating and meeting the schedule of law
school this year.
Following its establishment by the federal
government in 1962, the Nigerian Law School
(NLS) was situated in the former federal
capital of Lagos until 1996 when the late
General Sani Abacha regime moved it to the
new federal capital of Abuja.
Subsequently, NLS was decentralized thereby
paving way for six campuses with one located
in each of the six geopolitical zones of
the country. The campuses are located in
Kano, Northwest; Yola, Northeast; Abuja,
North-Central and Lagos, Southwest. Others
are Enugu, Southeast and Yenogua, South-
south.
Two of the geopolitical zones (Northwest and
Northeast) are now affected by the insecurity
engendered Boko Haram insurgents who
claim to be fighting for the obliteration of
western education in Nigeria.
