Gov. Nasir Idris of Kebbi has approved the release of N27.5 million for the payment of tuition and registration fees for 38 indigenes of the state in the Nigerian Law School.
The approval is contained in a statement signed by the Commissioner for Justice, Dr Junaidu Bello-Marshal and issued to newsmen in Birnin Kebbi on Monday.
“The 28 Bar Part II students will receive N750,000 each, while the Bar Part I students will get N650,000 each.
”The governor’s approval became necessary when the management of the Nigerian Law School increased the fees to N476,000 for Bar Part II and N353,000 for Bar Part I,” he said.
Bello-Marshall thanked the governor for the kind gesture and urged the students to be good ambassadors of the state.
