“The nine were part of the 13 judges recently appointed into the Lagos State High Court, a feat made more remarkable by the fact that the number is the highest ever recorded from the university at any given time in history.”


While congratulating the new judges, the Vice Chancellor, Professor Ibiyemi Olatunji-Bello, noted that an appointment into such an exalted position was not a mean feat but a testament to their hard work, sacrifice and dedication to the noble profession – Law, as well as their impactful contributions to the Lagos State judiciary.


Olatunji-Bello attributed the feat of the judges to, amongst other things, the solid foundation of excellence at the Faculty of Law of the university upon which they built their respective careers while urging them to be above board and serve with the fear of God in their new positions.

In February, 10 graduates of the Faculty of Law from the Universe also bagged first-class degrees at the Nigerian Law School final Bar Examinations
