Law school registration fees: Zamfara students beg for gov’s intervention

The Forum of 25 members of the Nigerian Law School Students in Zamfara State has appealed to the state governor, Dauda Lawal, for an urgent intervention in settling their 2023/2024 Law School registration fees.

This was contained in a statement jointly issued by the Chairman and Secretary of the Forum, Mubasshir Umar Gusau and Mahmud Sani-Kaura, respectively, on Friday.

The Forum noted that more than 90 per cent of Zamfara indigenes who studied law, graduated from various universities, and secured admission to the Nigerian Law School cannot afford to pay the registration fees due to financial difficulties.

It stated: “The admission to law school comes once in a year and admission is secured before fees is paid which is our burden.
