Mr Donald Ojogo, Member, representing Ilaje/Ese-Odo Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, has supported 21 Law School students who are indigenes of his constituency with N2.1 million.
Ojogo, in a statement issued in Okitipupa, said he had also hosted the awaiting lawyers in his office at the National Assembly Complex in Abuja.
He said that he decided to give the Law School students N100,000 each to support them preparatory to their Call to Bar in October.
The lawmaker urged them to be exceptional ambassadors of not only the legal profession but also of their constituency.
He also enjoined them to use their legal expertise to positively impact their communities and promote justice and equity.
According to the lawmaker, the gesture is a demonstration of his commitment to ensuring that they have the necessary resources and support, as they prepare for their call to the bar, slated for October.
“This is a testament to my belief in their potentials and recognition of the financial challenges that often accompany such moments in life.
“As you embark on this new chapter of your lives, remember that you carry the hopes and dreams of your community with you.
“Embrace the responsibility to make a meaningful difference, not only in the legal field but also in the lives of those you serve and be good exports of our very unique federal constituency,” he said.
While congratulating them on their ‘extraordinary achievements’, Ojogo challenged them to let the present moment fuel their passion and determination, as they stepped into the legal profession.
