Court decides Lead City Law programme Wednesday
The
Court of Appeal in Ibadan will on Wednesday deliver judgment on the
appeal filed by the National Universities Commission challenging the
accreditation of the Law programme of the Lead City University, Ibadan.
The Federal High Court, Ibadan had
restrained the commission from invalidating its earlier accreditation in
a judgment in July 26, 2011.
A first class law graduate of the
institution, Rev. Segun Alli, had dragged the NUC and the university,
before the High Court “for thwarting his dream and that of other law
graduates to proceed to Nigeria Law School after fulfilling all lawful
requirements.”
After Alli instituted the case against
NUC, the Federal High Court in suit FHC/IB/CS/50/2009, declared as
“unlawful the claim of NUC that the accreditation it conducted in May
2008 was invalided because the Legal Council of Education was not
represented during the exercise.”
According to the Federal High Court judgment, such claim is illegal and ultra-vires.
The court said it ran contrary to Section 10 and 11 of Education Act 2005.
