Lead City University! Ibadan : Ojo- Lanre appeals to the Council of Legal Education over moratorium

 Ojo- Lanre appeals to the Council of Legal Education over Lead City University 



Esteemed Members of the Council for Legal Education,



Subject: Appeal for Reconsideration of the Moratorium on Law Admissions at Lead City University, Ibadan


Dear Esteemed Members,


With great humility and respect do I formally appeal for the reconsideration of the moratorium placed on Lead City University, Ibadan, preventing the admission of law students for the next five years.

 While I appreciate the Council’s intent to uphold high standards in legal education, I believe this decision does not accurately reflect the capabilities and resources that Lead City University offers to aspiring legal professionals.


Lead City University has made remarkable progress in providing a comprehensive and robust legal education. The institution is equipped with state-of-the-art facilities and a dedicated faculty that stands among the best in the nation. One of its key assets, the law library, is a testament to its  commitment to legal education. With two stories and a seating capacity of 775, it offers an extensive collection of legal texts, databases, and online resources essential for rigorous academic inquiry. This facility is pivotal in cultivating critical thinking and a thorough understanding of the law among the students.


In addition to its exceptional resources, Lead City University is proud to have a distinguished faculty comprised of scholars who not only possess impressive academic qualifications but also extensive practical experience across various legal disciplines. Lead City University Law faculty members are deeply committed to nurturing the next generation of legal practitioners and scholars, ensuring a transformative educational experience that is rich in knowledge and passionate about the law.


The success of the alumni further underscores the quality of education offered at Lead City University. Graduates from Lead City University law program have consistently excelled in various sectors of the legal field, establishing themselves as capable professionals both nationally and internationally. They serve as living testaments to the quality of education provided, and I am confident that current and future students will continue to uphold these high standards.


Imposing a moratorium on admissions limits the opportunities for aspiring law students who wish to pursue their education at Lead City University.

 The legal profession thrives on diversity, innovation, and the infusion of new talent. It is essential to provide an inclusive and supportive environment that encourages the growth of all students.


I respectfully urge the Council to reconsider this moratorium in light of the evidence presented. Allowing Lead City University to once again admit law students would not only benefit the institution but also enrich the broader legal community in Nigeria.

 I am confident that Lead City is committed to maintaining its  mission of excellence in legal education and to making significant contributions to the legal landscape.


Thank you for your time and consideration of my appeal. I look forward to your favorable response.


Yours sincerely,


Amb. Wale Ojo-Lanre, Esq.
