Nigerian Law School: Over 3,500 Students Failed 2013/2014 Bar Exam


After the endured years of lecturer strike resulting to extended year of graduation from the university. It will be unbearable to be told you failed the passport to be license to practice. This is the dilemma of the thousand law students who failed the bar exam. 
Report from PM News, Out of 6000 candidates who enrolled for the 2013/2014 Bar exam, only 2172 were said to have passed the bar exam while the remaining 3828 law students failed. That's an outrageous number I must say. 
The students who failed pour the blame on the Director General of Nigerian Law School, Olarenwaju Adesola Onadeko for poor handling and strict grading of their final bar exam. Below is a transcript of the text messages and email sent to PM News by students in the dilemma.

"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" 
"Please save the future of 5000 law school students". 
"We the law students of Nigerian Law School protest the poor handling and marking of our Bar 2 final exam. Please we need the media to come to our aid" 
"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"
