Over 4000 students of the Nigerian Law School who failed the call to bar exams have called for a review of the examination papers.
The students are claiming that the the Director General of Nigerian Law School, Olarenwaju Adesola Onadeko wants to destroy their career by failing them en masse.
“Save Law School Students: The DG Olarenwaju Onadeko has come to destroy the future of over 70 per cent of students who wrote exams in August and has run to the United Kingdom to seek solace,” a text message read by one the students reads.
Another anonymous text from another students reads: “#Please save the future of 5000 law school student, so that the results may be reviewed because some lecturers are in support of this movement as they know the DG asked for a lot of scripts to be marked down. Please this is the least you can do.”
“The mass failure at the Nigerian Law School is an insult to the legal system. Kindly help address this issue by calling the attention of authorities that matters; another text read.
“The Nigerian Law School released the 2013/2014 August result. It was a Tsunami! Out of 6000 candidates who registered, about #2172 passed. We are talking of about #4000 students who failed”.
At the time of filing this report, the authorities have the law school are yet to respond to our correspondent demand for a reaction.
The recently released 2013/2014 results is the highest failure the Nigerian Law School has witnessed since its 50 years of existence.
