The National Association of Kwara State Law Students (NAKLAS) National Headquarters has called on the Executive Governor of Kwara State, Mallam AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, to urgently release the scholarship funds allocated for the 2023/2024 set of Kwara indigenes enrolled at the Nigerian Law School.
In a press statement released on Sunday, the association’s National Headquarters (NAKLAS NHQ) expressed appreciation for the Governor’s consistent support for education and youth development but emphasized the growing financial strain faced by law students awaiting their Call to Bar.
“We commend Governor AbdulRazaq for his unwavering commitment to the welfare of Kwara students. However, we are appealing for the prompt disbursement of the Law School scholarship, which remains a vital source of support for many,” said AbdulRauf AbdulBasit, NAKLAS National President.
According to the statement, the 2023/2024 beneficiaries include:
- Batch A – students currently awaiting their Call to Bar
- Batch B– students awaiting the release of their Bar Final results
Both sets/batches are expected to be called to the Nigerian Bar between July and November 2025.
NAKLAS revealed that a formal letter was submitted to the Governor on April 29, 2025, requesting the scholarship disbursement. The association noted that the long-standing scholarship initiative has historically offered critical financial relief to Kwara State indigenes at the Nigerian Law School.
“We are hopeful that the Governor, whom we regard as a father figure to all students, will once again rise to the occasion by supporting this year’s beneficiaries, just as he has done since 2019,” the statement added.
NAKLAS also reminded the state government of the next set of students—the 2025/2026 academic session currently at the Nigerian Law School, who will soon require similar financial assistance.
The association reaffirmed its commitment to advocating for the academic and professional success of all Kwara law students, both at home and in the diaspora.
