The Director-general of the Nigerian Law School, Professor Isa Chiroma has expressed optimism that the new Port Harcourt campus of the institution will be the best in the country.
Chiroma made the assertion when he paid a working visit at the Nabo Bekinbo Graham-Douglas campus of the Nigerian Law School in Port Harcourt on Sunday, in the company of Governor Nyesom Wike to inspect ongoing civil construction work.
He thanked Wike for the intervention to build and deliver the Port Harcourt campus to help address the challenge of inadequate lecture and accommodation space for the ever-increasing number of students seeking to acquire vocational legal training at the various campuses of the Nigerian Law School across the country.
“The last time we were here was when the groundbreaking ceremony took place, and today there is massive construction going on, and there is progress. I want to thank His Excellency and the good people of Rivers State for this progress.
“The kind of materials used with what we have seen on the ground, it is unimaginable, it is excellent. I can assure you that the problem we will be having is about our students, who will prefer to be posted to this place with what I have seen.
“That is the battle we are going to be faced with. But, I can assure you that all our Law School campuses are the same, but with the development going on here, it will be a problem for us to decide who comes to Port Harcourt. From what I have seen, it is going to be the best.”
The Port Harcourt campus will comprise 14 structures on the round-off, including 1500 capacity classroom blocks, hostel blocks, students multipurpose hall, 16 units 3-bedroom flat staff quarters with swimming pool, gymnasium, and lawn tennis court.
Other facilities for students include a library, moot court/law clinic building, sickbay, administrative block, cafeteria and sporting facilities.
