NASARAWA STATE LAW STUDENTS’ ASSOCIATION OF NIGERIA (NASLAWSAN)

PRESS RELEASE

The Nasarawa State Law Students' Association of Nigeria wrote an open letter to the Governor of Nasarawa State on August 14, 2022, detailing the hardships faced by natives of Nasarawa State pursuing legal education. Also, we pleaded with His Royal Highness the Emir of Lafia to intervene. Thus, it is imperative that the bursary system for the students who aspire to attend the largest bar in Africa be approved.

Just a few hours ago, the Nasarawa State Law Students' Association of Nigeria received official word that His Excellency had approved and directed for an upward review of the Law Students' Bursery, increasing the amount awarded to law students, from One Hundred Thousand Naira (100,000.00) to Three Hundred Thousand Naira (300,000.00). In the annals of the state, this is a cynosure: something to be commended and even honored for.

Indeed Engineer Abdullahi A. Sule is a visionary for Nasarawa State and a man who gets things done. He is an educational messiah who insists on nothing less than the highest standards.

We promise to turn the substantial funds you have already committed to us into a spectacularly successful venture that will foster the development of specialized knowledge and economic growth in Nasarawa State.

Thank you, Your Excellency Sir.
God Bless the good people of Nasarawa State,
God Bless Nigeria,
Good Bless NASLAWSAN.
