The governor made the promise when the newly appointed director-general of the Nigerian Law School, Dr Olugbemisola Odusote, visited him at the Lagos House, Marina, Lagos Island, in the company of the school’s management staff.
The DG thanked the governor for the assistance he had rendered to the institution and requested for more to secure good accommodation for the law school’s employees to enable them to give their best.
In his response Sanwo-Olu said, “Congratulations on your appointment. We need more of this. One thing you should do is bring in more women. I believe your capacity to take the law school to the next level is not in doubt. I wish you the best.
“Regarding Igbosere, yes, I made the commitment; it’s very unfair for the school to lose its heritage. We will do it. The legal profession is a very noble profession; this is one property that speaks to the heritage of the Nigerian Law School,” he said.
The governor also promised to look into the accommodation situation, which was listed as one of the challenges at the Lagos Law School.
“Part of the things that are important is for the staff to be well settled so that they can impact knowledge and the objective of the school can be well fulfilled, so that is one place we will try and speed up.
“The other request, which is also still accommodation, I can’t give specific figures, and I can’t make a commitment, but we will look at it once.”
Earlier, the DG sought the support of the Lagos State government for the reacquisition of the Igbosere land, describing it as a historic property that represents the heritage and identity of the Nigerian Law School.
Odusote said that, despite the availability of larger facilities at the Law School’s Abuja campus, many students still prefer the Lagos campus for its proximity and convenience. Lagos Campus remains the first choice for our students.
“This property speaks to the history of the Nigerian Law School. It is part of our heritage, and it is important that it continues to serve its original purpose,” she said.
