Parents of students at Atiba University in Oyo State are urging the Federal Government to step in to help with their children's legal studies. The parents, represented by lawyer Victor Opatola, have expressed concern over the accreditation status of the university's Law program. They argue that because the program is not accredited by the Council of Legal Education (CLE), graduates cannot attend the Nigerian Law School.
Opatola explained that the university has been admitting students for up to five years, despite knowing that the program was not CLE accredited. This means that students who have spent time and money on their education could be left without a way to continue their legal studies. The CLE has placed the university on a 10-year moratorium, which prevents new Law program admissions and leaves existing students uncertain about their progress.
The parents have already petitioned the National Universities Commission (NUC) for help, but feel the response is too slow. They are now asking for the students' academic records to be released, their transfer to accredited Law programs to be facilitated, and tuition and levies to be refunded while the issue is resolved.
The parents also urge the CLE to consider the time and investment their children have already made. They ask the Commission to prevent wasted efforts and allow the students to continue their legal studies.
