The Senate has approved the establishment of six new campuses of the Nigerian Law School across the six geopolitical zones of the country, in addition to the existing seven.

The 13 schools exclude that of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja.

The lawmaker representing Kogi West Senatorial District, Senator Smart Adeyemi, sponsored the bill.

Approval of the new law schools followed the consideration and adoption of a report by the Senate Committee on Judiciary, Human Rights and Legal Matters on the Legal Education Act (Amendment) Bill, 2021.

Accordingly, the Senate approved the Jos Law School Campus, Plateau State; and Kabba Law School Campus, Kogi State for the North-Central geopolitical zone.

The chamber also gave the nod for the Yola Law School Campus, Adamawa State; and Maiduguri Law School Campus, Borno State to serve the North-East zone.

In the North-West, the Senate approved the Kano Law School Campus, Kano State; and Argungu Law School Campus, Kebbi State.

In the South-East, the chamber gave approval for the Enugu Law School Campus, Enugu State; and Okija Law School Campus, Anambra State.

The Senate also approved the Yenagoa Law School Campus, Bayelsa State; Port Harcourt Law School Campus, Rivers State; and Orogun Law School Campus, Delta State for the South-South zone.

In the South-West, the chamber approved the Lagos Law School Campus, Lagos State; and Ilawe Law School Campus, Ekiti State.

Chairman of the Senate Committee on Judiciary, Human Rights and Legal Matters, Senator Opeyemi Bamidele, said creation of the six law schools was a legislative intervention to address “the exponential increase in the number of law graduates from our universities and foreign ones, coupled with the backlog that existed over the years.”

Bamidele added that the “existing campuses are overstretched and the infrastructures are not enough to accommodate thousands of law students graduating from the universities.”

The senator observed that the United States of America, with a population of over 350 million people, has about 237 law schools.

The lawmaker noted that some countries such as Canada and Australia, with far fewer population than Nigeria, have 24 and 38 law schools for a population of about 38 million and 26 million people, respectively

Bamidele explained that the provision for additional campuses in the six geopolitical zones of the federation was appropriate as it does not tamper with the seven existing campuses established by administrative responsibilities of the Council of Legal Education

The lawmaker, therefore, advised the Federal Government to, as a matter of priority, provide adequate resources for the funding of the Infrastructural needs of the law campuses across the country

Nobody is talking about propaganda here . I stay in Awka , I know how I kept hissing when driving past the roads in and out of Okpuno. I passed through VIO office and Roban while returning last year because of the Mobil fueling station that was in flames close to tempsite on 23/12/2021 . Anambra has the best road network? Same roads I passed through while heading to Ekwulobia my hometown or the ones that lead to Nnewi ? . Roads in Anambra State is very bad . We should try to be honest . Soludo need to fix those roads , not forgetting the Nanka own leading to Ekwulobia roundabout after Globis and Eastern Mass transit park . You people think everyone is an outsider for pointing out the facts.

But Udele1 is right when he said there’s no road in the Awka town apart from the express own. Even the priest said same during the Christmas vigil mass at Pope John Paul the Second Major Seminary Okpuno Awka. The roads in and out of Awka are very bad . Don’t even talk about the one leading to tempsite or the one cutting across Roban stores and St John hotels Okpuno very bad . The priest said let’s be enjoying the lightning he did on the three flyovers via Christmas decorations. We hope Soludo will do better in fixing those roads.

The Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) has granted Anambra state government the approval to operate Boeing 737-700 aircraft or its equivalent at Anambra International Cargo and Passenger Airport, Umueri.

The good news was conveyed to the governor of Anambra state, Chief Willie Obiano in a letter from the agency dated 24th January, 2022.

The approval was based on a satisfactory inspection carried out by aerodrome safety inspectors at the airport on the 21st of January, 2022 to ascertain the preparedness of the airport for the upgrade in fire cover from Cat 5 to Cat 6.

The latest approval will gladden the hearts of Ndi Anambra and others who have been flying through the airport since it’s commissioning.

According to Bobo Nkwonta, a Lagos - based businessman, “I am excited about this news. Governor Obiano has written his name in gold. I am even more elated as Airpeace airlines and United Nigeria airlines will now upgrade the planes they operate on that route to bigger aircraft”.

Development has to do with the quality infrastructure provided in a city or state. Infrastructure is divided into two. Hard infrastructure which refers to road, railway, bridges, etc and soft infrastructures which refers to services to maintain the economic, health and social standards of a population.
Let start with hard infrastructures, Ogun State has more bridges, more tiled roads, more highways, railway system, tunnels etc than Anambra State. Moving to soft infrastructures. How many stadium, university, 5 star hotels, bridges, top hospitals, golf course, Polo course, international secondary schools, recreational centers, eateries, malls, do you have in Anambra State compared to Ogun State?
List all your have in Anambra State.

Brother stop arguing blindly, the government is not paying to defend what is not.

What is in Abeokuta apart from the few good roads?? Just mention the things we are proud of in Abeokuta apart from fly over and pedestrian bridge in panseke, dominos in Panseke, royal mandarin in Ibara and opic 10 storey building?? What else is in Abeokuta??

Abeokuta is a rural area and they’re all right, we are still clinching too hard on the Stone Age, 60% of the houses in Abeokuta were build in the 70s,80s and there’s no sign of any development ever taking place soon because there’s no planning to cover it.

30% of the houses were uner built, houses owned by civil servants, artisans who mostly build 3 bedroom bungalow, face me and slap you, uncompleted buildings which take years to finish and most can’t even afford to build such houses in the main city, they buy lands in the bush, far from civilization.

While the 10% live in estates owned by the government, the GRAs, people who are mostly OGAs in government parastatals.

So how are you comparing Abeokuta to a fully industrialised states?? These anambara and co have billionaires that do not rely on government and the average igbo man wanna build a house in his state!

While the successful yoruba man want to relocate from his state to lagos island before leaving the country finally, so who will develop the states in south west?
