Babcock University in Ogun State, South-Western Nigeria, has produced nine first class honours in the November 2024 Bar Part II final examination, conducted by the Nigerian Law School which was recently released by the Council of Legal Education.

In what is shaping up to be another historic milestone, early indicators suggest that a graduate from Babcock University may emerge as the third overall best candidate nationwide. This further underscore the institution’s reputation for producing exceptional legal minds. This outstanding feat highlights the impact of Babcock University’s rigorous academic training, forward-thinking curriculum, and the dedication of faculty members within the School of Law and Security Studies.

The university’s track record at the Nigerian Law School spans over a decade of remarkable achievements: In 2013, Oladeinbo Gilbert emerged Best Student in Law in Practice. In 2016, two graduates earned First Class Honours, with Adonu Geoffrey named Best Overall Male Student and 2nd Best Overall Candidate. In 2017, another two graduates achieved First Class.

In 2019, ten graduates earned First Class Honours, with Abiru Mayowa emerging as the Overall Best Student and winner of 13 academic prizes. In 2022, six Babcock graduates were awarded First Class. In 2023, the university recorded its highest-ever performance with 20 First Class graduates. That year, Echebiri Mary-Ann Goodness clinched the 3rd Prize in Civil Litigation, and Labisi Oluwatamiloreayo Elizabeth was named 3rd Best Student in Professional Ethics.

“These continued successes are a reflection of our commitment to academic excellence and our goal of nurturing legal professionals who will lead with integrity, competence, and courage,” said Dean of the School of Law and Security Studies at Babcock University, Prof. Dorcas Odunaike. “We are proud of our students and confident they will contribute meaningfully to the legal profession both nationally and globally.”

Babcock University remains steadfast in its mission to deliver quality education and produce graduates who stand out in all spheres of life. This latest achievement reaffirms the university’s position as one of Nigeria’s leading institutions for legal education.
