‘’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. So the starting point is for you to consider the possibility of acquiring the relevant legislation that constitutes the legal frame work of the basis operated as a nation,’’ HAGF explained.

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. A legislation came in as well, which brought about additional campuses over time, thereby laying a legality of whatever related and made the expansion to multiple campuses”.
