Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), Chief Wole Olanipekun, has offered law school scholarships to 500-level law students of the Federal University Oye-Ekiti (FUOYE) who attended a public lecture organised by the university’s Faculty of Law.
He also pledged N250,000 to each student to motivate and support them, continuing his longstanding commitment to encouraging aspiring legal practitioners.
The former President of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) made the pledges , after delivering a public lecture at the Senator Victor Ndoma-Egba Auditorium, FUOYE.
The scholarship is expected to ease the financial burden of the students’ professional training as they prepare to proceed to law school after completing their undergraduate studies.
Chief Olanipekun’s intervention also underscores the importance of investing in young people through educational support and mentorship to strengthen the future of the legal profession.
