The University of Ilorin has recorded yet another feat, as 16 of its Law graduates made First Class Honours at the recently concluded Bar Final Examinations of the Nigerian Law School.

This is in addition to 58 others who made Second Class Upper in the examinations.

The University’s Director of Corporate Affairs, Mr Kunle Akogun, disclosed this in a press statement he made available to newsmen in Ilorin, the Kwara State capital.

According to Mr Akogun, “this is the first time in the history of the University and its Faculty of Law that such a large number of its graduates would make First Class in the Final Bar Examinations, saying the closest to this was in 2023 when 10 of its Law graduates bagged the First Class grade.

He pointed out that the feat is “a direct impact of the administrative style of the Vice Chancellor, Prof. Wahab Olasupo Egbewole, SAN, who has invested so much in the service delivery efforts of the University.”

Mr Akogun further quoted the Vice Chancellor as saying that the performance of the Law graduates “is a thing of joy not only for the Faculty of Law but also for the University in general.”

Prof. Egbewole said that he had “always expected the Faculty to make record-breaking achievements, as it remains one of the best Faculties of Law in Nigeria in terms of staffing, facilities and service delivery.”

The Vice Chancellor, who is the latest Member of the Body of Benchers, noted that the feat reflects not only the individual industry, brilliance, discipline, and resilience of the Law graduates, but it is also a reflection of the strong academic foundation and culture of excellence nurtured at the University.

While commending the 16 First Class graduands for writing their names in gold, Prof. Egbewole praised all other graduates of the Faculty who also passed the Bar exams with various grades.

The Professor of Jurisprudence and International Law described the accomplishment as a “proud moment for the University and reflection of its ceaseless commitment to academic and professional excellence”.

Prof. Egbewole, who is also the Secretary-General of the Association of West Africa Universities (AWAU), encouraged the graduands to continue to serve as good ambassadors of the University in all their future endeavours.
