Top 10 student personalities from faculty of Law (2022 edition)

From the “No school fees, No Exam policy” which eventually cascaded into a full-blown protest-cum-destruction of school properties and then to the perceived witch-hunting, summons and interrogation of several persons suspected to have instigated the protest in one way or the other, the year 2022 came and left with its ups and downs and of course, the memorable moments of academic splendour and all that it is.

Just like I posited in the preceding edition of this publication last year, it must be stated in emphatic terms that I am arguably not the best qualified to gazette the top student personalities from the Faculty of Law in Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba-Akoko, being consciously aware of the replete talents, eminence and wide-ranging excellence exhibited by virtually every student in the said faculty.

Hence, permit me to put it as a foreword that in as much as I am open to a series of objective and subjective opinions regarding this publication, it must also be stated in profound terms that I have no iota of doubt in the credibility and unassailability of this publication, having chosen from the array of the most dignified personalities in the faculty. With the inclusion of a special category, listed herein are the top ten student personalities in the Faculty of Law, Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba, as far as the year 2022 is concerned:

𝐒𝐏𝐄𝐂𝐈𝐀𝐋 𝐑𝐄𝐂𝐎𝐆𝐍𝐈𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍

𝗔𝗝𝗨𝗪𝗔 𝗣𝗥𝗘𝗬𝗘: A native of Arogbo in Ondo state, 𝗣𝗥𝗘𝗬𝗘, as casually known and addressed, is an ultimate student who is often touted and mentioned as one of the most brilliant students in the entire Faculty. In fact, the QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS– one of the best-selling legal texts in the Faculty, written by Dr. Akin Oluwadayisi bears a repeated acknowledgement and special mention of her name. Such an outstanding student. A former Treasurer of the Law Students’ Society (LSS), she served as the Assistant Chamber-Head  and presently serves as Chamber-Head of Kayode Eso, a position she has formidably led the chamber to several victories in the Faculty Inter-Chamber competition. An International Law and Taxation enthusiast, she is also a writer, researcher, content creation among others. If you are seriously keen on obtaining the best academic result that there is in the Faculty of Law, 𝗣𝗥𝗘𝗬𝗘 is definitely a most worthy mentor.

𝗙𝗔𝗡𝗜𝗕𝗨𝗬𝗔𝗡 𝗔𝗬𝗢𝗠𝗜𝗗𝗘 -A native of Ilara-mokin, Ayomide– a passionate Red-Devil, reader, researcher and graphics design enthusiast– is a fresher who is currently finding his feat in writing. A top 9 finalist in a poetic competition organised by the Correct Connect Africa Foundation (CCAF), while also having one of his works prominently featured in citizenrapporteurs.com– a fast emerging news outlet. An active member of the National Association of Ilara-Mokin Students (NAIMS) and a member of the Akinola Aguda chamber, Ayomide is an emblem of humility and introvertedness who carries an unassuming character, sparklingly complimenting his affability and mild countenance. If I were to pick the newbie that should be looked out for in 2023, Ayomide bears the perfect mention. Indeed, the revelation of the 2020-2025 set.
