Members of the Board of Trustee, Baze University are set to meet with the Senate over the suspension of the five-year embargo placed on admission into the Faculty of Law at the varsity by the Council of Legal Education.
This comes after students of the institution have expressed their worries over the suspension placed on the varsity.
A first-year student, Hauwa (surname withheld), said she had just started her law education in the varsity and did not want any form of disruption due to compliance issues.
“The law students in the university are really many. In my class alone, we are almost 100 and some people, I learnt, may join us during our second year for direct entry.
“My parents are worried. They have asked if the ban affects my set but I don’t even know anymore because the school is yet to make a statement on it,” he said.
In a WhatsApp screenshot shared by Hauwa, a number of her classmates on their online platform expressed their feelings of confusion and sadness regarding the recent development.
One student, Joseph (surname withheld), mentioned receiving a call from his father on Saturday morning when the news was announced, questioning whether he would need to switch to a different school.
Another student, who went by the name Tunji, shared his personal experience, revealing that he had spent more than three years attempting to secure admission from various universities before finally gaining acceptance into Baze.
While allaying the fears of the students, a source in the office of the Registrar of the University stated that the university’s Board of Trustees and Senate were set to meet this week on the matter.
The source said, “Our Pro-Chancellor is aware and he has given instructions. The BoT and Senate are also going to meet on the matter this week. It will be resolved. No student should be afraid to choose Baze.”
