The University of Ilorin has achieved a significant academic milestone, with 16 of its Law graduates earning First Class Honours in the latest Bar Final Examinations conducted by the Nigerian Law School.
In addition, 58 graduates from the institution secured Second Class Upper Division, highlighting the university’s continued strong performance.
This was disclosed by the university’s Director of Corporate Affairs, Kunle Akogun, in a statement issued to journalists in Ilorin on Thursday.
He noted that this marks the highest number of First Class results ever recorded by the university’s Faculty of Law in the Bar Finals.
“This is the first time in the history of the university and its Faculty of Law that such a large number of graduates have achieved First Class in the Final Bar Examinations. The closest was in 2023, when 10 graduates attained the same feat,” he said.
Akogun attributed the achievement to ongoing improvements in academic standards and effective institutional leadership.
He added that the result reflects the impact of the Vice-Chancellor, Wahab Egbewole’s administration, which has focused on strengthening teaching and learning.
