Wike also announced that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has approved the construction of additional auditoriums to accommodate more students of the institution.
According to the minister, the project fulfills President Tinubu’s promise made in December 2024 to address the school’s acute accommodation shortage.
“This is leadership at work. In just two years, Mr President has intervened twice in the affairs of the Nigerian Law School. Each visit has brought tangible development from staff quarters to student hostels, and now, the forthcoming auditorium,” Wike said.
He added that the hostel project, comprising 316 spaces each for male and female students, would be completed within 12 months without variation.
“When there is good leadership, there is nothing difficult in achieving results. We will ensure this project is completed within one year,” the minister assured.
Wike revealed that the decision to build an additional auditorium followed his discussion with President Tinubu after observing that the existing facility could no longer accommodate the growing number of law students.
“When I discussed with my son who was recently called to the Bar, he told me that even with the new hostels, the existing auditorium may not take all the students. I raised this with Mr President last night, and he immediately directed that another auditorium should be built for the Nigerian Law School,” Wike stated.
He described the gesture as a reflection of President Tinubu’s commitment to transforming legal education in Nigeria, adding that the administration had already implemented multiple projects in the institution through the Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Prince Lateef Fagbemi, SAN.
The minister commended the Attorney-General for his proactive partnership in justice sector reforms, including the digitisation of FCT High Courts, and praised the Director-General of the Nigerian Law School, Prof. Isa Hayatu Chiroma, SAN, for his leadership.
“I have never seen a luckier Director-General. The kind of infrastructural transformation he has brought to the Nigerian Law School is remarkable,” he said.
In his remarks, Prof. Chiroma expressed appreciation to President Tinubu, the Attorney-General, and the FCT Minister for their continued support. He noted that the new hostels would significantly reduce accommodation pressure on students.
“Today’s flag-off fulfills the promise made to provide 300-bed hostels each for male and female students. This will go a long way in helping the Law School fulfill its mandate,” he said.
Chiroma also acknowledged Wike’s previous contributions to legal education, including the establishment of the Graham Douglas Campus in Port Harcourt, the Yenagoa Campus, and the donation of utility vehicles and staff quarters.
The event was attended by senior officials of the Federal Ministry of Justice, the Council of Legal Education, and the management of the Nigerian Law School.
