  "summary": "Atiba University in Oyo State, South-West Nigeria, has agreed to refund tuition fees to Law students who wish to withdraw from the institution due to a 10-year moratorium imposed on its Law programme. The decision, made following a meeting with university management, was announced by the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) and the National Association of University Students (NAUS) in a joint resolution. Students seeking refunds will receive their payments within two weeks, while affected students will be given the opportunity to transfer to other universities, with three institutions already expressing readiness to accommodate them. The transfer process is expected to commence within two months. Additionally, students who wish to continue their legal education will be able to pursue a pathway to the Nigerian Law School after completing their National Youth Service Corps programme.",
