ABUAD COLLEGE OF LAW……. Nothing Compares

You have heard it severally that ABUAD College of Law is the best in Nigeria.

Now, you have seen the authentic handwriting of the Executive Secretary of the National Universities Commission, Prof Julius A. Okojie declaring the college as the best in West Africa.

He said the College holds unquantifiable values projecting the new face of quality legal education in Nigeria and beyond.

 According to him, nothing compares. He made the declaration while on a working tour of the University in company of top officials of his Commission.

Prof Okojie’s disclosure came on the heels of the recently concluded award ceremony that took place in Abuja by the Institute for Government Research and Leadership Technology which conferred the best College of Law Award in Nigeria on the institution.

The law curriculum of the College was designed to cover both the theoretical and practical aspects of quality legal training, consistent with internationally recognized standards. The University Don eulogized the uniqueness of its programme which mandatorily required students to undergo law office attachment designed to acquaint them with the technicalities and rudiments of legal practice during their vacation periods after the third and fourth academic years.

The Executive Secretary was particularly happy about the Colleges’ ultra-modern facilities.

 He said ABUAD’s Law library which is presently the largest in the country prides itself as a home for serious global academic research with a rich collection of highly valuable, up-to date national and international reading resources like All England Reports, Harvard Law review and Yale Law Journal.

At the Law Auditorium which was equipped with automated facilities, cooling system and a seating capacity of 1500 persons, Prof Okojie commended the vision of the Founder, Aare Afe Babalola. He described the Moot Court and the Law Clinic as modern laboratory equivalent for practical training. The Executive Secretary expressed satisfaction at the quality of academic staff which he interacted with, some of whom graduated with advanced degrees from national and international leading centers of education, such as Harvard, Oxford, Cambridge, Aberdeen, London Universities, and from other parts of Europe and North America

.

The College of Law is one of the pioneering Colleges of the University and it epitomizes the quintessential Aare Afe Babalola as a rare gift to humanity.

Established to produce well-vast Lawyers and Legal scholars, the  construction of the ultra modern College of Law edifice commenced in July 2010, and was commissioned on 22nd February 2012 by the then Chief Justice of Nigeria, Hon. Justice Dahiru Musdapher.
