That’s wrong.

That body is responsible for the tutelage of All Lawyers in Nigeria.

The Bar finals is such a big deal for law students - you should ask around if you have friends studying law.

It has a direct effect on your life - lawyers mostly go on to become your law makers, governors, VPs, solicitors - if you are privileged to buy a house, or a car or sign a contract, they would make this happen for you. They are also your advocate when you are involved in any legal tussle.

I think it’s in your best interest they receive the right tutelage.

Ok

Pls where did fed govt are getting all these useless portfolio from?

Chairman of blabla this chairman blabla that. When it comes to useless portfolio the South can head it, then Buhari can trust the South isn't? But when it come to better and important portfolio fed govt can't trust the South isn't
