Nigerian Law School Releases Aug 2018 Results, Sets Dates For Call To Bar, As 161 Candidates Bag First Class

The Nigerian Law School has recorded for the first time in history, the highest number of candidates graded in the first class honour, and of course, the highest number of success rate.

In an exam participated by 5,846 candidates, 4,633 emerged victorious as successful candidates indicating that 79.25% passed which is approximately 80% of the pass rate.

The result shows that 218 (3.73%) had conditional pass, with 965 (16.15%) candidates failing the bar finals, while a total of 30 candidates which is just 0.51%, being absent.

In other categories, 695 candidates (11.88%) were graded in the Second Class Upper Division, while 1,276 (21.83%) were graded in the Second Class Lower Division. A total number of 2, 501 (42.78%) were also graded with Pass as released.
