The move is aimed at improving learning conditions and fixing long-standing gaps.


The minister said the school had operated for years without proper land documentation, a situation he described as unacceptable.

He directed that all fees be waived and the document processed within one week. He noted that regularising land ownership is necessary for proper administration.

The step is part of efforts to correct similar issues across government institutions.


He also announced ongoing and planned projects to ease overcrowding and support staff.

Ten staff housing units have been completed, with another ten to be built using existing designs. Work is ongoing on separate hostels for male and female students.

A new auditorium has also been approved, with concerns raised over delays by the contractor.


The administration further pushed for digital systems to improve operations, asking the school to work with legal officials in the FCT.

The projects align with the agenda of Bola Ahmed Tinubu to strengthen legal education and the judiciary. The minister said the housing project must be treated with urgency.

School management welcomed the plans while noting existing infrastructure challenges.
