‘’Our experience as a nation in terms of law and legal development is peculiar but the major undertone is to rise to the success which is rooted in legislation.

According to Malami, “Nigeria Law School is an institution established by law which started as a single campus in Lagos and with manifesting challenges of increase in population, it called for decentralization.
