A young woman from Kogi State just set a new law school record to the praise of the whole Nigerian judiciary.
Fatima Bombom Sani, 26, from Kogi State, made history on Wednesday, 21 October 2015.
The University of Abuja graduate got the prestigious honour of a standing ovation from the Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), Justice Mahmud Mohammed, other members of the Body of Benchers (BOB) and the Council of Legal Education (CLE), other dignitaries and the new wigs.
