The Learned Squib: January 2019

CHIEF G.O.K AJAYI SAN

Chief G.O.K Ajayi SAN

My father in the legal profession is gone; one of the angels sent by the almighty God to protect the Squib Law Magazine and quest for integrity in the legal profession is gone.

He was an unbelievable rock of such magnitude that the Squib trial of ten years (2003 – 2013) was sweet instead of sorrowful.

Where would I find such a father again?

We hope to exceed your standard of gracious and sacrificial generosity to the weak and to the poor.

Daddy 3, Rest In Peace

ADIEU, ADIEU, ADIEU.

*Anger over Law School's N300,000 fee

ROOF top tuition of N300,000 for new intakes into the Nigerian Law School may soon shut the door of the legal profession to many Nigerian families.
The fees were raised twice in the past five years. The 2004/2005 law students paid N150,000, half of what the new intakes are now being asked to pay, while the last set paid N220,000.
The latest increase had earlier been foretold by the institution’s Director-General, Dr. Mamman Tahi, during the 2008 Call-to-Bar ceremony.
He had disclosed that the fees for new intakes into the school would be increased from the N220,000 paid by the last set.
Already, some Nigerians have bared their minds on the consequences of the tuition, required of new intakes into the Nigerian Law School.
Many parents, who spoke separately in Bwari (FCT), during the Call-to-Bar ceremony on Tuesday, called for a drastic reduction.
A medical doctor, Dr. Femi Agboola, whose son was among the graduands, described the new fee of N300, 000 “as exorbitant and does not reflect present day reality in the country”.
“The fee charged by the law school is becoming unbearable to the ordinary Nigerian. Where do they expect a civil servant or a farmer to find N300, 000 to pay for his child or ward who qualifies to attend this school?” he asked.
According to him, without the intervention of the Federal Government, law graduates from poor background may not be able to attend the school.
Hajia Safia Abba, whose daughter was also called to bar at the ceremony, criticised the new fee.
Her words: “It is ridiculous. Apart from the expensive books these children buy, the high fees will discourage our children from reading law.”
