The Board of Studies of the Council of Legal Education has directed that henceforth, re-sit candidates are to attend at least eight weeks compulsory revision classes at the Nigerian Law School.

A total number of 5,841 regular candidates took the exam out of which four had a first class honours, while 96 candidates had 2nd class upper division and 620 had 2nd class lower division.

However, a total of 2,610 passed while 501 had conditional pass and 1,932 failed the exam.

The release also indicated that a total of 1,335 re-sit candidates sat for the exam while 88 passed, 26 had a conditional pass and 1,168 failed.
