In a statement titled “A Congratulatory Note to All Nigerian Law School Candidates That Dared to Walk the Journey to the Bar!”, Akangbe praised the resilience and determination of successful candidates, commending them for enduring a journey marked by delay and uncertainty.
“To everyone who passed, congratulations. Your perseverance, in the face of delay and uncertainty, has paid off. You’ve conquered not just an academic hurdle, but the test of patience and hope,” he wrote.
He also offered words of encouragement to those who were unsuccessful in the recent results, emphasizing that their current status does not define their value or potential.
“A result never defines your worth, and a delay is not the end of your story. Many of the brightest lawyers we admire today once stood where you now stand,” he said, urging them to rise again with strength and courage.
Akangbe further called on members of the legal profession to show empathy and support during this emotionally charged period.
“To the entire Nigerian legal community, let us be kind. Let us be sensitive. And above all, let us continue to advocate for a system that supports, uplifts, and strengthens every aspiring lawyer, regardless of what side of the result they currently find themselves.”
He concluded by wishing all candidates clarity, resilience, and peace as they take their next steps into the legal profession.
“The profession needs YOU, it needs ALL of YOU,” he affirmed.
