Ifelaw Graduates Win 2017 Reginald Aziza Leadership in Law Scholarship Award

Ifelaw Graduates Win 2017 Reginald Aziza Leadership in Law Scholarship Award

Yesterday, Dr. Reginald Aziza announced Jeremiah Opeyemi Ojo and Abiodun Elijah Adenekan, both graduates of the Faculty of Law, OAU, Ile-Ife as the 2017 recipients of the Reginald Aziza Leadership in Law Scholarship Award.

He took to his instagram page (@reginaldaziza) to announce and upload the awardees' pictures with the following caption:

"We all have a duty to give; to lend a helping hand; to pull the next person up. This duty arises not because of our financial position, but in spite of it. It is a duty I take seriously. Severally, I have been helped up, I have wondered: just what if we all pull the next person up? What if we all listened? What if we all cared?
In fulfillment of this duty, today, I am pleased to announced Jeremiah Opeyemi Ojo and Abiodun Elijah Adenekan as the 2017 recipients of the Reginald Aziza Leadership in Law Scholarship Award.

Both awardees achieved exceptional academic performances at the Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, with Jeremiah achieving First Class Honours and Elijah following closely with a CGPA of 4.48. Both awardees attained their stellar performance despite verifiable financial difficulty. Having lost his mother many years ago, Jeremiah survived through university by running a business of printing and making photocopies. Elijah survived in school through menial jobs and teaching in secondary schools and other institutions. The fact that they were able to achieve such stellar performances in spite of their serious financial constraints is simply astonishing and lays credence to their single-minded, unrepentant determination to succeed, for which, I hold gentlemen in very high esteem.

The Scholarship shall cover 100% each of their tuition fees to the Nigeria Law School. In addition, I shall expose both awardees to a network of exceptionally bright, young Nigeria lawyers, who, together with me, shall be providing both awardees tailored and personalised support through their studies at the Nigeria Law School as well as exposing them to scholarship and career opportunities for their further personal and professional development.

I wish to thank all those who have supported this scholarship scheme, and the mentors who would work assiduously to ensure the flame of these gentlemen shines ever brighter in the future.

And to the awardees, a hearty congratulations to you, and thank you for giving me the privilege to be a part of your story.

Together, we can #MakeThemBelieve!"

We here at IFELAW are proud and happy for this magnanimous gesture showed by Reginald Aziza towards his Alma Mata. Thank you. We are very grateful.

We want to also use this medium to call on all alumni of IFELAW, home and abroad,  to look back at the Faculty with similar kind gestures. We need you.
