Scheme with each of the students awarded

At a well-attended award ceremony held

memories of the late legal icon were subjects
of discussion among guests present.
The event, which was chaired by the National
President of the Academic Staff Union of
Universities (ASUU), Dr. Nasir Fagge Isa,
also featured a lecture by the former Dean,
Faculty of Law, Obafemi Awolowo University,

No fewer than 40 indigent undergraduates
have been awarded Gani Fawehinmi
Scholarship Awards.
In a lecture titled: “The Law, the Lawyer
and the Public Spirit: Gani Fawehinmi in
Historical Perspective”, delivered at the
award ceremony held last week, Professor
Ademola Popoola of the Faculty of Law,
Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU), Ile-Ife,
decried the continuous falling standard of
education in the country.
The .
Popoola who spoke on issues affecting the
education sector in Nigeria, at the event,
which held at the late Fawehinmi’s Nigerian
Law Publication House, Otunba Jobi Fele Way,
CBD, Alausa, Ikeja, said anyone who has the
interest of Nigeria at heart cannot but share
the late Fawehinmi’s passion for education.
The late Fawehinmi, according to him,
beleived education to be the bedrock of
sustainable national development and the
pivot of progress.
He said the problems of Nigeria’s
educational system are legion, adding
that access to it, funding, governance,
quality and relevance are more telling.
“It is indeed, a sad commentary that in
2014, education, in the appropriate
metaphor of Professor S.O Awokoya, is still
“The Crisis Child of Our Time”.
“The percentages of failure recorded in the
past four years ranged from 75.06 per cent
in 2010, 44.66 per cent in 2011, 61.19 per
cent in 2012 and 35.74 per cent in 2013,
up to a whopping 70 per cent in 2014,” he
said.
According to the Law Professor, what the
falling standard portends for the country
includes threat to the hopes and aspirations
of the youths, who are the future and
bedrock for any effective and sustainable
development.
“Regrettably, in most developing and
underdeveloped countries of the world,
including Nigeria where corruption, abject
poverty, unemployment and disease have
assumed a frightening dimension, the youth
have become endangered species with bleak
and uncertain future,” he said.
The don commended the late Fawehinmi for
his initiative in addressing some aspects of
the crisis of education at the individual
level. He blamed the crisis on long years of
neglect, mal-administration and policy
somersaults.
“The late Chief Gani Fawehinmi had passion
for education as he had for Law. In his life
time, he meant many things to many people.
Even in death, the memory of him and his
good deeds is indelibly etched in the hearts
of his teeming compatriots, particularly the
down-trodden and the oppressed, whose
lives he had touched in a lasting and
remarkable way,” he said.
Prof Popoola said the Senior Advocate of the
Masses (SAM) conferred on Chief Gani
Fawehinmi long before he became a Senior
Advocate of Nigeria (SAN) was not by
accident.
The late Fawehinmi, according to him, was
the only recipient of such title, adding that
any other claim to the title of SAM is fake
and should be ignored.
Dr. Dipo Fashina, who chaired the Gani
Fawehinmi Scholarship Awards Board, said
the number of recipients was reviewed
upward from 20 in 2012 to 40 this year
because the award was not given last year
due to incessant strike of the tertiary
institutions across the country.
The number of recipients, he noted, may be
increased in the future as the need arises.
Dr. Fashina, a former President of the
Academic Staff Union of Universities,
(ASUU) said the late Fawehinmi was
concerned about Nigerian children who were
very brilliant, but indigent.
“There was another thing the late Chief
Fawehinmi was concerned about, the
disparities in the distribution of education
in Nigeria. That there must be a reflection
of the fact that there are bright students
all over Nigeria,” Fashina said
Over 1,000 students have so far been
empowered through scholarship since the
awards begun in 1973 by the Gani
Fawehinmi Scholarship Awards Board.
