The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has strongly criticized the Director General of the Nigerian Law School, Professor Isa Hayatu Chiroma SAN, over the poor state of the school’s facilities.
In a scathing speech, Minister Wike accused Prof. Chiroma of failing to utilize available funds to maintain and improve the Law School infrastructure. He expressed disappointment that despite significant budgets allocated, the school environment remains in a deplorable condition.
“I am highly disappointed. Look at the money that was made available to you, you were not able to make use of the funds to upgrade the Law School. Money was budgeted for you to ensure you don’t have to run back to the federal government asking for funds to run the school’s activities,” Minister Wike fumed.
He further lamented that the government had expected the funds to be judiciously used for upgrading the school rather than seeking additional money. “We would have expected you to use the funds provided to run the school and improve its facilities. But you failed woefully to do so,” he added.

Minister Wike stated he was shocked at the current terrible state of the school when he recently visited, saying its parlous state was unacceptable. He questioned how Prof. Chiroma could be handed the critical position of DG with his clear lack of capacity to maintain basic infrastructure.

“Now you have been given the position of DG in charge of something as important as the Nigerian Law School. Yet you cannot even maintain the school facilities. What is going on?” Minister Wike remarked in dismay.
The strong criticism comes as questions rise over the leadership and management of the renowned Nigerian Law School under the current DG. Stakeholders have accused Prof. Chiroma of neglecting the welfare and needs of law students during his tenure so far.

Though Wike did not mention the particular campus he is referring to, whether it is Abuja or Port Harcourt, TheNigeriaLawyer learned that during Wike’s governorship, Rivers State funded the construction and establishment of the Port Harcourt Campus.

Wike the golden boy of the judiciary

Are you supervising LAW school

Most Nigerians are just born to lootv

Okwyjesus:
Are you supervising LAW school

munmun question as usual

Okwyjesus:

You get sense so?

Their pockets first

I'm tired of toothless bulldogs in authority. If money was budgeted as you said, funds were released and Chiroman didn't do anything with the funds, what stops you from calling in relevant agencies to investigate his tenure immediately ? Stop disturbing us with noise if you don't take action because tomorrow, you'll still release money for him to mismanage again

Okwyjesus:

Go an see the Law school in Rivers State, you will not believe that that campus is in Nigeria

The building is under the control and supervision of Wike because it is inside FCT.

I stay in PH. I don't know what law school look like else where but Wike did a nice job

WIKE IS RIGHT.

The structure in question is not in Abuja but Portharcourt. It’s not under the control and supervision of Wike.

The vested interest Wike has is because he built and donated the structure to the Nigerian law school when he was the governor, as part of the State’s contribution towards legal education but unfortunately, it’s been grossly being mismanaged with clear lack of maintenance even when funds have been made available.

You didn’t get it. Wike himself renovated the one in port Harcourt. I watched it live when it was being opened by CJN Ariwoola. Wike is referring to the Anuja campus in this case.
