Wike Announces Plan to Build New Law School Campus Auditorium

The FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, has announced plans to construct a new auditorium at the Nigerian Law School, Bwari Campus, to accommodate the growing number of students seeking admission into the institution.

He made the announcement on Monday during the official flag-off ceremony for the construction of over 600-bed hostels for male and female students at the Nigerian Law School, Bwari, Abuja.

According to the minister, the decision to build an additional auditorium followed discussions with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, who approved the project after learning of the current facility’s limitations. “When I discussed with my son, who was recently called to the bar, he told me that even with the new hostels, the existing auditorium may not take all the students. I raised this with Mr. President last night, and he directed that another auditorium should be built for the Nigerian Law School,” Wike said.

He described the gesture as part of President Tinubu’s ongoing commitment to improving legal education in Nigeria, noting that the administration has already undertaken several projects within the institution through the Attorney-General of the Federation, Prince Lateef Fagbemi. “This is leadership at work. In just two years, Mr. President has intervened twice in the affairs of the Nigerian Law School. Each visit has brought tangible development, from staff quarters to student hostels and now, the forthcoming auditorium,” he added.

If you really want to improve the conditions of Nigerian Law School please start constructing hostels at the Nigerian Law School, Lagos Campus. The hostels there are in worse condition than prison cells in modern slavery. Six students in each room, overflowing toilets, broken taps, showers missing, broken bulb holders, the list is endless. I was on ground floor and there were times while in the bathroom the toilet on the upper floof is flushed and it gushes in the bathroom while you are taking a bath. Its hard to believe but that was the condition in Nigerian Law School, Lagos Campus. The best part of Lagos campus are the lecturers and their hard work.
