Nearly one in five undergraduates who sat for the August/September 2016 last examinations of the Nigerian Law School, failed and won't be called to the bar, official results have appeared.
The result contained in a statement by the official executive of the Nigerian Law School, Olanrewaju Anadeko, demonstrates that 17.8 per cent of the undergraduates
who sat in the last examination failed and won't be called to bar this November.
The figure represents 980 Undergraduates of 5, 517 who took an interest in examination.
As indicated by the statement, 4, 178 of the candidates passed the examination with no conditions while 359 of them had conditional passes.
That implies 75 per cent of the candidates went without conditions, while 6.5 per cent had conditional passes.
A comparative examination led in April recorded 23.6 per cent failure rate, as 709 candidates out of 3, 056 of them who sat for that group of the last examination from the NLS, did not make the pass stamp.
Potential candidates to the bar must sit and pass the last examination by the school, while complying to different provisions of the Legal Practitioners Act to be met all requirements for the call to bar.
As per Section 4 of the Act, candidates must meet every single other prerequisite to qualify before they can be permitted to partake in the exercise. Segment 4 (2) of the Act infers that the 359 candidates with conditional passes can't depend exclusively on their sort of result to make it to bar.
